The Baltimore-area dental practice franchise calls the public's attention to its expertise in the spectrum of surgical steps necessary for the successful installation of dental implants.
BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / September 10, 2021 / It is a lamentable fact that, during the course of their lives, many people will lose their natural teeth and require dental implants, be it through an accident, poor dental habits, or simply as a product of aging. As a means of reaching out to such people and providing assurances that a perfect smile need not be sacrificed in the event of tooth loss, Smiles R Us Dentistry wishes to inform the public of its company-wide expertise in the spectrum of surgical steps necessary for the successful installation of dental implants.
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function the same as natural teeth. The implants are tiny titanium posts surgically placed into the parts of the jaw bone where teeth are missing. The titanium then binds with the bone, creating a sturdy foundation on which to place artificial teeth. As an added benefit to the patient's renewed ability to eat and smile with confidence, dental implants help to preserve facial structure and prevent the bone deterioration which inevitably occurs when teeth are missing.
For most patients, the installation of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, metal anchors that act as tooth root substitutes are implanted in the jaw bone. A period of three to six months must then follow between surgeries to allow for proper binding, during which time the patient is given temporary dentures to facilitate the eating of soft foods. The second surgical procedure then occurs, wherein the implants are uncovered and small healing collars are attached. An impression of the affected area is taken in order to create replacement teeth. Posts or attachments are connected to the implants, at which point the replacement teeth are connected to the posts or attachments. All totalled, the entire procedure takes between six to eight months, and the vast majority of patients do not experience any interruption to daily life during this time.
However, thanks to exciting new surgical advances concerning dental implants, Smiles R Us Dentistry now offers single stage dental implant surgery to patients who meet certain criteria. Although the procedure still requires a minimum of six weeks of healing time before the placement of artificial teeth, these new implants do not require a second surgery to uncover. The installation of single stage dental implants is a joint venture between a periodontist (members of the Smiles R Us team) and a restorative dentist (the patient's usual dentist). A professional consultation with Smiles R Us Dentistry is required to determine a patient's eligibility for single stage dental implant surgery.
All patients who are considering dental implants of any kind with Smiles R Us Dentistry must undergo a dental/radiographic examination, as well as providing their health history. During the consultation process, the specific needs and considerations of each patient will be addressed by a team of highly-trained medical experts, including doctors, maxillofacial surgeons, and oral surgeons referred by Smiles R Us. All patient questions and concerns will be addressed before any procedures begin.
