What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They serve as a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants integrate with the jawbone, providing stability and preventing bone loss.

The Surgical Procedure

Before dental implant surgery, some patients may require bone grafting to augment the jawbone's density and volume. This procedure is essential when the jawbone has deteriorated due to tooth loss, trauma, or periodontal disease. Dr. Chetan Parikh specializes in bone grafting techniques that promote bone regeneration and prepare the jawbone to support dental implants effectively. For the best bone grafting in Rockville, MD, trust the expertise of our team at Rockville Family Dental.

Implant Placement

1. Initial Consultation and Treatment Planning: The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Chetan Parikh evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and designs a personalized treatment plan. Advanced imaging technologies, such as 3D cone beam CT scans, may be used to assess bone structure and determine the optimal placement of implants.
2. Surgical Placement: On the day of surgery, local anesthesia ensures your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Parikh precisely places titanium implant posts into the jawbone at predetermined locations. These implants serve as artificial tooth roots and are designed to integrate with the jawbone over time through a process called osseointegration.
3. Bone Integration: Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth. This integration process is crucial as it ensures the implants are secure and capable of withstanding biting and chewing forces similar to natural teeth.

Healing and Restoration

1. Healing Phase: During the healing period, temporary prosthetic teeth may be provided to maintain aesthetics and function. Dr. Chetan Parikh monitors your progress closely to ensure proper healing and osseointegration.
2. Final Restoration: Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, custom-crafted crowns, bridges, or dentures are attached to the implants. These prosthetic teeth are meticulously designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, restoring function and aesthetics.

Post-operative Care

1. Care Instructions: After implant surgery, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions from our team. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene, attend follow-up appointments, and avoid habits that can compromise implant success, such as smoking.
