Replace Missing Teeth with Modern Dental Implants

Experiencing missing teeth poses challenges in various aspects of life, impacting everything from eating habits to social interactions. At Jordan M. Job DDS, we offer a solution to overcome the discomfort and embarrassment of tooth loss through advanced dental implants that mimic the functionality of real teeth.

What's Involved with Getting a Dental Implant

Everyone’s needs are unique, but the following are steps that you can typically expect during the process.

Step 1

Dental Implant Consultation

To kickstart the process, Dr. Job assesses your dental and medical history, conducts a comprehensive examination, and utilizes a CBCT (3-dimensional X-ray) to gather crucial information needed for the procedure, ensuring your eligibility as a dental implant candidate.

Step 2

Placing Your Dental Implant

Prior to the procedure, Dr. Job ensures your comfort by numbing your mouth with a powerful local anesthetic. Following that, he meticulously places the titanium implant post in the precise location, position, and depth within the bone. Surprisingly, patients often fare very well postoperatively with minimal pain.

Step 3

Dental Implant Healing

As the tooth implant post heals through osseointegration, a process taking 3-6 months, patients may wonder about immediate restoration. While feasible in some cases, it often poses a risk of implant failure, potentially restarting the procedure.

Step 4

Attaching the Abutment

When the implant heals, Dr. Job places an abutment on the post to connect your implant to your custom restoration. The abutment holds the prosthetic securely in place, so you don’t have to worry about it slipping or falling off.

Step 5

Restoring Implant Function and Appearance

When your final custom prosthetic- crown, bridge, or denture – comes back from the lab, Dr. Job will make adjustments as needed and secure it to the abutment. Once completed, your custom restoration will look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth.

Immediate Dental Implant Placement

If you’re having a tooth extracted to make way for a dental implant, you may wonder if we can perform the two procedures simultaneously. The answer is that, yes, in some cases, it is possible.

However, it varies from person to person and depends on the strength of the underlying jawbone and the type of tooth we are removing. If there isn’t enough bone to place an implant right away, our implant dentist in Parma, OH, Dr. Job, may recommend bone grafting, a procedure he can perform at the time of extraction. You would then wait 3-4 months for the graft to heal and then get your implant.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Provide Long-Term Support

A properly placed implant can provide a lifetime of use and oral health benefits. With excellent oral hygiene and six-month exams and teeth cleanings, a dental implant can last a lifetime.

Maintain Jawbone Health

Tooth loss causes deterioration and weakening of the jawbone and contributes to a drawn or aged appearance. The only tooth replacement option that helps prevent further bone loss and maintain facial contours is dental implants.

Restore Chewing Function

Traditional dentures can slide out of place when eating or speaking and cause awkward and embarrassing moments for the wearer. Dental implants are fixed in your jaw and are extremely secure. With implants, you can be confident that your dentures will stay in place, no matter what foods you eat or how hard you laugh when you’re socializing with friends.

Natural-Looking Results

Dental implants provide secure support for your custom crown, bridge, or denture that we color-match to blend seamlessly with your smile. The result is replacement teeth that look so natural no one will suspect that you weren’t born with them.

How do dental implants work?

A dental implant is a substitute tooth root that takes the place of the real thing after tooth loss. The first step is a procedure at our Parma, OH dental office, where Dr. Job places the implant post in your jaw.

As the titanium post heals, it fuses securely with bone and tissue that surrounds it. This process is called osseointegration and takes anywhere from three to six months to complete.

With the artificial root firmly implanted, we create a stable base – similar to the lost tooth root – onto which we attach a prosthetic tooth. Depending on how many teeth we’re treating, the prosthetic could be a crown, bridge, or full or partial denture.

A Fully Functional Replacement Tooth
Dr. Job plans and customizes the replacement tooth to blend with the shape and shade of surrounding teeth to complete your smile. The result is a completely stable artificial root and a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing. The implant post can last a lifetime.
