Georgetown Dental Implants | Georgetown Sedation Dentistry

Whether it's due to injury or decay, a missing tooth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. Single implants are permanent replacements that fill the gap and allow you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence.

What Are Single Dental Implants?

Single implants consist of a titanium implant fixture and a porcelain crown, serving as a restorative solution for replacing individual missing teeth.

Surgically affixed to the gums, they integrate with oral bone tissue, ensuring permanent stability and preventing any potential shifting or displacement of the prosthetic tooth.

How Do We Place Dental Implants?

During an initial consultation, our dental team employs advanced 3D imaging technology to assess your bone structure. This detailed imaging allows us to visualize the exact positioning of the implants and plan for the aesthetic and functional aspects of your new teeth.

Once the implant is carefully placed in your gums, it fuses with the bone over a few months, creating a strong foundation. Then, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant. Finally, a custom-made crown is securely fastened to the abutment, giving you a natural-looking and fully functional tooth.

For those with severe dental anxiety during implant placement surgery, we offer effective IV sedation, which induces deep relaxation within minutes and ensures no discomfort. If patients prefer to be completely asleep during the procedure, we also provide the option of general anesthesia. Our team closely monitors your vital signs for your safety.

What Are Implant-Supported Bridges?

Implant-supported bridges offer a similar permanent solution for replacing multiple missing teeth in a row. Instead of being attached to permanent teeth, they are fixed to two neighboring dental implants.

When Do I Need a Dental Implant?

You have lost a tooth due to injury or trauma.
You have a severely decayed tooth that cannot be saved.

Who is a Candidate for a Single Dental Implant?

Patients need to have adequate bone density in the jaw to support the implant, as well as adequate oral health. When you visit our office, we will assess your gums, teeth, and oral tissue to determine if you can undergo the procedure.

Is the Procedure Painful?

During the surgery, you'll feel minimal discomfort with the use of local anesthesia. Afterward, you might experience some mild soreness and swelling. You can manage that and other symptoms with over-the-counter pain medication.
