Dental Implant Surgery & Restorations
If you are missing one or several teeth or have significant dental decay, Mora-Rosa Dental Designs can help. We perform dental implant surgery at our Orlando office. The process starts out with an assessment in which the dentist analyzes x-rays or CT scans to gauge whether there is sufficient bone in the area where the dental implant will be positioned. In most cases, those who are not smokers prove eligible for dental implants.
A titanium rod or screw is implanted into the jaw bone, starting the process referred to as osseointegration. This process takes upwards of six months to complete. Once the titanium rod is fused to the jaw bone, the restorative device is added and crowned. This surgery is not complex or painful. You will be provided with a local anesthetic to ensure your gums are completely numb. The dental implant will look and function just like a normal tooth
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth root that provides an anchor for an artificial tooth (crown), and are the most natural replacements for missing teeth offered today.
The implant is a post made of titanium, which we insert into your upper or lower jawbone that acts as the root structure, just as your natural tooth would. After the bone grows around the implant, it can hold a crown, bridge, or denture. The dental implants Orlando patients receive from Dr. Mora-Rosa are a stable and long-lasting base for the replacement of missing teeth.
The Advantages of Dental Implants
Here are just some of the advantages that this dental Orlando service can provide:
Permanence – The hassle of removing dentures is eliminated and your new teeth will remain indefinitely.
Strength – Implants are so strong you can even bite and chew foods like corn-on-the-cob!
Improved Oral Hygiene – Individual implants, unlike dentures, allow access between teeth for flossing, improving oral hygiene.
Looks – Our implants look and feel natural and prevent the bone loss and gum recession that come with bridgework and dentures, which make your face age prematurely.
Conservation Of Tooth Structure – With conventional non-removable (fixed) bridges, the teeth on either side of the missing tooth must be prepared for crowns (caps), and so are not as conservative of tooth structure.
