Your Dental Implants Dentist in Englewood

Dental Implants Dentistry in Englewood, OH and BrookvilleFrom speaking difficulties to the inability to eat certain foods, missing teeth can affect huge portions of a person’s daily life. If you are missing one or more teeth, you don’t need us to remind you that life likely hasn’t been the same. However, you may be wondering if there’s anything you can really do about it.

The answer is yes!
Dental implant treatment is one of the most popular and effective ways to heal your bite and your smile. Not only do they fill in those gaps, but dental implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like the real thing.

What Is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are complete, root-to-crown synthetic teeth.

Most tooth replacement options, such as dental bridges or dentures, create a solid and beautiful biting surface for you, which completes your smile and helps you get back to the foods you love. What they don’t do, though, is go under the surface to support your jaw at all. The portion of your jaw where your tooth roots were remains empty.

This leaves you at risk of jawbone deterioration. It also adds the pressure of biting or chewing onto the teeth adjacent to the gap, rather than the jawbone itself.

Dental implants are unique among restoration options because they provide both the biting surface and a replacement tooth root.

Dental implants consist of two principal parts: a small titanium post secured to your jawbone, and a highly durable Zirconia porcelain implant crown.

The titanium post is made of the same type of material used in healing broken bones. It is strong, long-lasting, and almost completely hypoallergenic. The crown that completes your tooth implant procedure mimics the color of your other teeth while enhancing the beauty of your smile. Together, these two custom pieces make an entire replacement tooth.

The Full Service Implant Dentistry Process

  1. The first part of the implant dentistry process is deciding whether you are able to receive an implant. For the post to heal and properly secure the crown, the patient must have sufficient jawbone thickness in the area.

    If you do not have the necessary bone mass, however, you may be able to supplement the space with a bone graft procedure.

  2. Once you have been approved for an implant, you will come in for the rod placement. Using our top-of-the-line technology, we determine the ideal spot for your tooth root and implant the titanium post at that location.
  3. The next step is a healing process called osseointegration. The bone and tissue needs to heal from the implantation surgery. As it does so, the bone and the rod will fuse together, very much like the pin in a broken leg. The bone and the rod together are much stronger and more secure than either of them were separately. This makes for a sturdy and healthy anchor to your new tooth.
  4. Once osseointegration has occurred and the tissues around the area are healed, we will place the custom-crafted dental crown on top of the implant rod. This completes your new tooth structure.

The Benefits of Implant Dentistry Treatment for Missing Teeth

Dental Implants Dentistry in Dayton and BrookvilleOur favorite benefit to implant dentistry—and one that our patients are also excited about—is the long-lasting nature of this treatment. More than any other type of dental restoration, dental implants give patients durable, reliable longevity. In fact, many implants that were placed decades ago are still healthy, strong, and getting their jobs done with comfort and efficiency.

But longevity isn’t the only reason to consider a dental implant. Studies demonstrate that, among all types of restorative procedures, implant dentistry treatments achieve the greatest success rate.

Other benefits of dental implants include the following:

  • A tooth implant has superior long-term durability. Enjoy a lifetime of reliable form and function.
  • A tooth implant can help you retain a healthy bite pressure. Enjoy your favorite foods.
  • A tooth implant replicates your intended tooth anatomy including roots, cusps, shape, color, and contours.
  • Dental implants require no changes or modifications to nearby teeth. All your teeth can remain strong and healthy.
  • A tooth implant preserves facial contours. Your jawbone won’t deteriorate.

We can also use dental implants to secure dentures. If you are missing most, or even all of your teeth and you require dentures, our dental implant-supported dentures are a great option.

Imagine rediscovering the confidence and comfort to smile, eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life again! This is one of the priceless gifts that implant dentistry specialists Drs. Louis and Dominic Vitangeli have the privilege of giving our family of patients.

Your Dental Implants Dentist In Englewood

Our implant dentistry professionals, Drs. Louis and Dominic Vitangeli, recommend dental implants to patients with missing teeth or those with dentures. We’re proud to offer them at our Englewood, OH, office.

Why Come To Us For Your Implants?

All in One Office | In many areas, implant placement has to be done by separate dentists in separate offices; one office does the rod-placement surgery, and another places the dental crown on top. Different training is needed for the two different parts of the procedure.

We’re excited to tell you that Vitangeli Dental does it all! One office. One staff. When you come here for your implant procedure, we take good care of you all the way through the entire treatment.

Comforts and Amenities | We’ve taken a great deal of time and effort to make our office as comfortable as possible for all of our patients. To this end, we offer aromatherapy, warm towels, the latest in comfortable dental chairs, and memory foam cushions—not to mention the TVs in every treatment room.

Dental Technology | We always try to keep up with the latest developments in dental technology. For your implant treatment, we use nothing less than the highest quality equipment the industry has to offer.

At our practice in Englewood, we use a CT scanner and surgical guides to pinpoint the exact location and angle for the implant. We take digital impressions to generate precise tooth specifications, and we use an AACD-accredited laboratory to create amazingly beautiful porcelain replications.

You can look at our dental technology page for more about the many innovative tools we use at Vitangeli Dental.

Training and Experience | If you are considering a tooth implant in Dayton, one question separates the expert from the novice: can my implant dentist perform both the surgical and restorative phases of the procedure?

Years of education and specialized expertise are required to perform each implant dentistry phase, especially in the same location by the same dentist. Drs. Louis and Dominic Vitangeli possess this full implant dentistry expertise.

Our expert dental staff is highly trained and able to provide all phases of your implant treatment with quality results.
