DENTAL IMPLANTS

If you are missing teeth, or have teeth that are damaged or decayed, dental implants may be the solution for you. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted into your jawbone. They provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. At Liberty Village Dental Care, we offer dental implants as part of our comprehensive range of dental services. We will work with you to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you, and we will help you through the implantation process every step of the way. Make an appointment at our Victorville dental clinic, where Dr Sergio Aguila will examine your mouth and determine the most appropriate treatment for you.

PROCESS OF INSTALLING DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implant surgery can be performed in several ways, depending on the specifics of the situation and the type of implant being used. Generally, the implant will be inserted into the jawbone, and the surrounding bone will need to heal around the implant before the new teeth can be attached. This process can take some time, but the benefits of using implants for tooth replacement are significant. They offer a solid foundation for your new teeth that is more stable and secure than other methods.

The titanium implants fuse with your jawbone, making them a stable and long-lasting solution. Unlike dentures or fixed bridgework, there is no risk of them slipping, making noise, or damaging your bone. Additionally, the materials used in titanium implants cannot decay like your own teeth can.

As dental implants require one or more surgical procedures, it is important to have a through evaluation prior to beginning the process. This evaluation should include a review of your medical history, current medications and allergies. You should also discuss your expectations and goals for the treatment with Dr. Sergio Aguila.

If one or more of your teeth have fallen out, you may be able to get dental implants as a way to permanently replace the missing teeth. To find out if you’re eligible for dental implants in Victorville , call our dentist office at (760) 955-2273. Dr. Sergio Aguila will examine your mouth and jawbone so that he can tell if the procedure is right for you. He can also tell if any other work needs to be done before implants can be inserted, such as treating cavities or gum disease, etc. If a tooth is lost due to an accident or an illness that causes the body’s immune system to reject the transplanted organ, Dental implants may not be viable for you because the structure of your jaw cannot support the implant; this too will need to be determined by a consultation with our office

If you are considering dental implants, it is important to know that your jawbone may need to be strengthened first, if you currently don’t have enough bone to support a dental implant. This is because the vigorous chewing action of your mouth puts greater pressure on your bone, and if it can’t support the implant, it won’t work. A bone graft will help to strengthen your jawbone!

There are several bone graft materials that might be suitable for you if you needed to rebuild a jawbone. For example, there is the option of a natural bone graft, where another part of your body can be used to provide support structures for new and healthy bone growth. But the most popular option would be a synthetic bone graft, such as bone-substitute material.

It usually takes between 4 and 6 months for your jawbone to heal enough after surgery to support a dental implant. There are some steps you can take to speed up the process, like smoking cessation, medication, and supplementing with vitamin C. If you are considering a dental implant, it is important to understand that the success of the implant may depend on the health of your jawbone. In some cases, the implant may be placed without any additional surgery, but in other cases, you may need a minor bone grafting procedure. The condition of your jawbone will determine the best course of action.

Once implants have been installed, they are extremely easy to care for. We hear from patients throughout Victorville with questions that range from “Do implants come out” and “How do I brush my teeth”. The answer is fairly simple. Since dental prosthetics are installed by creating a synthetic root system, they are durable and secure and will not fall out or become loose. This means you can go play basketball, run in a 10k, and wrestle with your kids – without worrying about your tooth coming out.

In order to care for your implants, we advise patients throughout California to brush and floss their teeth throughout the day like they normally would. Additionally, it is important to schedule dental exams and cleanings with Dr. Sergio Aguila at least twice a year. The staff at Liberty Village Dental Care will help to clean your teeth and ensure that they stay healthy. This step is incredibly important because while dental prosthetics cannot become infected themselves, the teeth around them can. If, in the future, you suffer from a severe case of gum disease or a dental abscess, the infection can spread into your jawbone. This puts your implants in jeopardy because in order to stay secure, the jawbone must be in good health. If it becomes infected, your dental prosthetics and all of your teeth will be in jeopardy.

If you currently have implants and your teeth start to hurt, call (760) 955-2273 to schedule an appointment immediately. This way we can identify any infection and treat it before it can spread into the jawbone. As long as you follow these simple preventative care steps, your implants and natural teeth should remain in good health.

In order to find out if implants are right for you, call (760) 955-2273. Dr. Sergio Aguila and the staff at Liberty Village Dental Care are friendly, welcoming, and will take the time to educate and inform you of all of your options.

Q: I need to replace two missing teeth next to each other. Can I just have one implant placed and attach it to one of my natural teeth and make a bridge?

A: Generally, this is not a good idea-over the years we have learned that it is generally much better not to attach implants to teeth. We frequently attach implants to each other, which can improve strength and works well. So in a case like this, although it may be more expensive in the short term to place two implants instead of one, the long-term success is likely to be much better with the two implants.

Q: I lost my upper back teeth on one side and have gone for years without doing anything about it. My sinuses always seem to bother me more on that side than on the side that I have back teeth. Could these problems be related to one another?

A: In a large majority of people who have had their upper back teeth missing for a long period of time is the increasing downward growth of the maxillary sinus. At birth it is the size of a pea, and progressively grows as the skull matures. This growth is at the expense of the surrounding bone. If you are considering replacing those upper back teeth with fixed teeth that stay in all the time, it may be necessary to perform a sinus elevation procedure to allow room for placement of dental prosthetic implants into this area to support those teeth. This involves placement of bone and/or bone substitutes into an area which was previously occupied by the lower part of the maxillary sinus. Most importantly, this procedure increases the available bone use to place implants and restore the missing back teeth.

Q: I’ve had dentures for several years and have lost a lot of jawbone. My lower dentures are floaters and I need help. Is there still hope for me?

A: In most cases, with the new options available today in the field of dental prosthetic implants, some form of treatment can be done. We encourage people to get help as soon as possible if they are already having some problems with their current situation. These problems include: excessive use of denture adhesives, chewing only soft food, unable to taste some foods, constant mouth sores, unhappy with the appearance of one’s teeth and bite position (in some cases the nose and chin getting closer together). The sooner the problems are corrected with dental prosthetic implants the more choices one has available for treatment. If you have any or all of the above symptoms, implants could very well be the answer for you.

Q: I am missing all of my teeth and am now wearing a full upper and lower denture. I can no longer tolerate my lowers. Will I need an implant for every tooth I am replacing on the lower jaw?

A: It is not necessary to have an implant for every tooth that is being replaced. The number of implants necessary to provide support depends on the type of implants used and the type of teeth (removable vs. non- removable) that will be attached to the implants. A thorough oral exam and panoramic x-ray is all that is necessary in most cases, to determine which implant can be used and how many must be used. Sometimes additional x-rays or CT scans are used in more complicated cases.

Q: I consulted a dentist several years ago about using implants to replace my lower denture and he told me that I did not have adequate bone available to place enough in-the-bone implants without danger of fracturing my now fragile jawbone. Are there any alternatives?

A: Because of the advances in the field of implantology, there are now more choices and techniques. It’s the rare person that cannot receive an implant or a combination of implants. Today we have available many types of implants designed to accommodate multiple problems.

Q: I had a root canal on a tooth that fractured and now it has to be removed. Can it be replaced with an implant or do I have to have a bridge or a partial?

A: Teeth that have root canals can fracture more easily than other teeth because they are weaker and somewhat dehydrated. They can sometimes be as brittle as glass. In the past the best available treatment was to remove the tooth and file down the adjacent teeth and make a bridge – caps on the adjacent teeth with an attached “dummy” tooth in between. Sometimes this still is the only way. However, in many cases an implant can replace the fractured tooth and no teeth need to be ground down at all.
