Dental Implants Vermont

When it comes to advanced treatments for missing teeth, dental implants near Vermont hold the top spot.

Dental implants are one of the leading innovations in modern dentistry and a permanent solution to tooth loss. It can replace one or more missing teeth and in some cases, an entire upper or lower arch of teeth.

The biggest advantage of dental implants among other counterparts is the way they look, feel and function like your natural teeth. Implants are made of titanium and are surgically placed into the jaw to fill the gap caused by missing teeth and replace the missing roots. 

How Dental Implants Work

Dental implants are one of the most preferred tooth replacement options nowadays. The titanium screw is placed precisely into the upper or lower jawbone and will serve as the anchor for the dental crown. Implants are used to replace missing teeth caused by several factors such as accident, trauma, disease or congenital abnormality.

The procedure of implant dentistry takes several months to complete and that’s because the implant rod requires time to assimilate into the jawbone, a process called “Osseo-integration”. Even if it takes time to get the result, you will be glad and contented to see the outcome because the treatment looks and feels natural, functional and attractive. 

The Dental Implant Procedure

  • Your dentist Vermont will first evaluate your dental condition to see if you are a good candidate for a dental implant.

  • Your medical history will also be evaluated. Other factors that could affect your candidacy or the success of the treatment include smoking, gum disease, diabetes and cancer.
  • Your teeth and gums are checked thoroughly before the procedure takes place.
  • During the first appointment, the implant is surgically placed into your jawbone
  • After the first part of the treatment, it will take 2-6 months for the implant to fuse to the bone, allowing the Osseo-integration to happen.
  • While waiting for the implant to be fully secured by bone tissue, a temporary restoration may be required.
  • When the implant has securely integrated with the jawbone, the temporary restoration is removed, and a dental crown or bridge is attached to the abutment using a strong adhesive formula.

Good Candidates for Implants

If you generally have good dental health and physical wellbeing, then you are an ideal implant candidate.

On the other hand, some patients are poor candidates for this treatment for different reasons. This includes adolescents who have jawbones that are still developing, pregnant women, patients with certain medical issues and those who take certain immune repressive medications.

Had a wisdom tooth extracted by Dr Lydia Tseng a month ago. Was extremely nervous but she was so very kind and gentle, I dare say I was pleasantly surprised with the entire procedure. All thanks to this super patient dentist. Thank you so much. I might actually be nearly happy about my next visit 🤞🏼😆

Our family have already attended the EK dental surgery with Dr. Lydia for a couple of years. Dr. Lydia is our best choice after compared with other dentists, especially on children’s dental care. She is very patient and very professional on children’s noncooperation. She explained the treatment clearly and given us good advice. She is always gentle when checked teeth. She used a lot of strategies to help my son for relaxing and be comfortable while filling a tooth. My son was very resistant to see dentist because he had a bad experience in another clinics before, but Dr. Lydia was very patient and given my son a lot encouragement. I highly recommended Dr. Lydia
