Introduction to Dental Implants

At Gamboa Dental Group in Doral, we specialize in providing top-quality dental implants to restore your smile and improve oral health. Dental implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth or implant crowns.

Implant Crowns

Implant crowns are the visible part of the dental implant. They are custom-designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Natural Appearance: One of the primary benefits of dental implants is their ability to look and feel like your natural teeth. The implant crown is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile. This natural appearance can boost your confidence and help you feel comfortable in social and professional settings.

Durability: Dental implants are known for their longevity. Made from titanium, a strong and biocompatible material, the implants integrate with the jawbone to form a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term solution for missing teeth.

Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, which require the reduction of adjacent teeth, dental implants do not affect the surrounding teeth. This preserves the integrity of your natural teeth. Additionally, implants help stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs when a tooth is missing. This maintenance of bone structure supports overall oral health and facial structure.

Enhanced Comfort: Dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures. You can speak, eat, and smile with confidence, knowing that your implants will not slip or move. This stability also allows for a more varied and unrestricted diet, as you can enjoy foods that might be challenging with dentures.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Consultation and Planning: The dental implant journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. At Gamboa Dental Group will conduct a thorough examination, including dental X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and jawbone structure. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is created to address your specific needs and ensure the best possible outcome.

Implant Placement: During the implant placement procedure, the titanium implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone. This minor surgical procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. 

Healing Period: After the implant is placed, a healing period of several months is necessary for osseointegration to occur. This is the process where the implant fuses with the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation. During this time, a temporary crown or bridge may be placed to maintain aesthetics and function.

Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as the base for the final restoration. This step may require a minor surgical procedure, which is usually done under local anesthesia.

Crown Placement: The final step in the dental implant process is the placement of the custom-made crown. The crown is designed to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. Once the crown is secured to the abutment, the restoration is complete, and you can enjoy the full benefits of your new dental implant.
