Dental Implants

Now patients who are missing teeth have a strong, beautiful alternative to bridges, partials, or full dentures. Dallas Dental Implants will improve your smile and your lifestyle. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth because of a titanium anchor attached to the jawbone. Dental Implants" can also anchor bridges, partials, or full dentures to eliminate slipping.

After a thorough evaluation, your dentist can tell you whether you're a candidate for dental implants. They require adequate bone structure for placement. The first stage of the procedure involves oral surgery in which a titanium post is implanted into the jawbone for each missing tooth or for the new teeth that will anchor a bridge or denture. Nature will take its course, allowing your bone tissue to fuse with the titanium post. This creates a solid foundation.

Once the implants are secured, your dentist will attach a handcrafted, permanent crown to each post. The restorations will match your natural teeth and blend seamlessly with your smile.

By imitating an entire natural tooth, from the root up, dental implants in Dallas, TX offer a prosthetic that closely mimics nature. The result? Dental implant patients enjoy restored function, which allows a healthy diet of hard-to-chew foods. Speech may also improve. Strong and secure, your new smile will boost your confidence, enhance your appearance, and improve your quality of life.

Dallas Dental Implants Act as Permanent, Secure Tooth Replacements

According to statistics, Americans will lose an average of 12 teeth by age 50. When you lose permanent teeth, regardless of why or how many, dental implants can offer a "new lease on life." Superior to other choices like bridges, full dentures, or removable partials, an implant actually replicates a tooth root, in both form and function, to solidly anchor a single tooth or multiple-tooth prosthetic. Dental implants feel, function, and look completely natural. They don't slip out of place like traditional dentures, so you'll enjoy renewed ability to eat, talk, and smile with confidence.

The Procedure
To place dental implants, a small biocompatible titanium post is inserted into the jawbone below the gum surface. With proper use of the newest anesthetics and medications, we can make the minimally invasive procedure comfortable and prompt. During the healing process, bone will naturally fuse with the implant post to create a secure foundation for your single or multiple-tooth restoration. We work with talented ceramists and lab technicians who create restorations and prosthetics from fine dental materials, contoured and shaded to look completely natural.

The Benefits
The beauty of your new smile will extend below the surface. Without a tooth root, bone will degenerate. Teeth will shift out of place, and cheeks and lips cave inward to make a person look older. Dental implants will give you a strong, lasting foundation for replacement teeth. They'll also replace the underlying structure for your facial features, creating a plumper, younger appearance. After nearly 35 years of use, dental implants have a 90 to 95% proven success rate in appropriately chosen cases.

Dental implants also function like natural teeth, so you will be able to enjoy nutritious, hard-to-chew foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables. And you can throw away your denture adhesives because caring for your new implants will involve only the two-step hygiene process that you already perform every day — brushing and flossing.

The Consultation
Dr. Berland will assess your case to help you decide whether dental implants are right for you. We need to take X-rays, photos, and records to determine your bone density and level of oral health. Dr. Berland will also want to discuss your goals and expectations so that we can deliver the best results for your unique situation. To get started, call today and schedule your dental implantconsultation with Dr. Berland.

Dental Implants and beautiful new smiles in just one day

What was impossible just a short time ago we do every day now. Miracles do happen! And in the right situation, you can receive your beautiful new smile in just one day!

Advances in dental implant technology and new protocols now make it possible to replace failing or missing teeth with customized replacements immediately.

We do it all right here

Patients receive complete, fast, and convenient treatment all in one location. Dallas Dental Arts has an experienced team of dental professionals, 3D CAT scanning technology, and a specialized On-Site Dental Implant Lab, which sets Dallas Dental Arts apart from other dental offices.

Dallas Dental Arts is one of the few select dental implant centers in the world to use 3D CAT Scans for diagnosis and treatment planning. It only takes 20 seconds to give us a detailed look at existing teeth, bone, nerves, and tissue.

The 3D CAT Scan provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow us to:

  • Examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the implant,
  • Determine the precise placement of the implants,
  • Select the correct type and size of the implants, and
  • Avoid the nerves and sinuses
  • And at for less radiation than other CAT Scans.

In addition to replacing single, multiple, and failing teeth, Dallas Dental Arts offer Noble Biocare Immediate Function Procedures, including the All-on-4 Procedure, an advanced alternative to traditional dentures. The All-on-4 procedure can replace a full arch of teeth in one day, using only four implants and many times without bone grafts.. That saves you time and money.

 

Computer guided dental implant surgery

Computer technology has fueled great advancements in the field of implant dentistry. 3D CT Scans enable us to evaluate each patient’s anatomy in detail. The incorporation of computer aided design – computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology and computer software for 3D rendering and virtual surgery planning has brought implant dentistry to a new level of predictability.

Our Board Certified Periodontist, Dr Margolin, has been placing dental implants while utilizing 3D CT planning software since 1994.

After obtaining a scan using our in-office 3D scanner, the data is imported into the planning software. Significant anatomical landmarks such as nerves and sinuses can be traced and labeled. Virtual implant surgery can then be done on the patient’s CT scan. Ideal position and size of implants can be determined and checked from multiple perspectives. After ideal implant positions are determined, the dental restorations can be built virtually in the software to ensure the implants are positioned correctly to enable proper esthetics and function for the future teeth.

We even take the extra step of having multiple computer graphics rendered of each guided surgery plan to ensure the best possible accuracy before proceeding to the final planning phase. If these graphics are approved, the next step is the fabrication of the guided surgery stent.

For many years we have been able to analyze patients’ anatomy using CT Scans and to plan surgery using CT planning software, but translating the information from the computer into the patients’ mouth was the missing link. With the incorporation of CAD-CAM technology, we have been able to bridge that gap. CAD-CAM technology has enabled a computer to take the plan from our software and fabricate an extremely accurate guide that simply snaps over the patient’s teeth and ensures that implants are placed exactly where we planned them on the patient’s CT Scan.

There are many benefits to computer guided surgery which can include:

  • More accurate implant placement
  • Faster, less invasive surgical techniques
  • Less need for bone grafting/sinus augmentation
  • Safer surgery in avoiding anatomy such as nerves and blood vessels
  • Ability to treatment plan and perform more complex implant cases

If your dentist is not using 3D technology for there implant dentistry, you are not receiving the current state of the art in dental care.
