Implant Dentistry

00:00:06.458 --> 00:00:08.792 A dental implant, in a very simple word, 00:00:08.875 --> 00:00:13.458 is a tiny titanium screw that's placed in the jawbone. 00:00:13.792 --> 00:00:18.458 It literally can be as small as a fingernail. 00:00:18.542 --> 00:00:21.458 The most common misconception of dental implants 00:00:21.542 --> 00:00:25.792 people think is you need one implant per tooth, 00:00:26.458 --> 00:00:27.500 which is not true. 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.440 You can replace an entire mouth with as minimum as four implants. 00:00:32.542 --> 00:00:34.042 Dental implants are typically needed 00:00:34.125 --> 00:00:36.458 when somebody is about to lose their tooth, 00:00:36.542 --> 00:00:41.208 or have already lost a tooth, or all teeth in their mouth. 00:00:41.292 --> 00:00:44.083 Our consultation appointments are always free. 00:00:44.167 --> 00:00:44.958 It's complimentary. 00:00:45.042 --> 00:00:46.375 We never charged patients for it 00:00:46.458 --> 00:00:50.542 because we understand everybody had different expectations from it. 00:00:50.625 --> 00:00:55.292 I can take a CT scan and look inside the patient's bone 00:00:55.375 --> 00:00:57.833 and do the entire surgery on the computer 00:00:57.917 --> 00:01:02.417 within a matter of 3-4 minutes and show it to the patient. 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.360 Today, with so much technology, we are able to simulate everything. 00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:09.958 What would be the future outcome of replacing the tooth? 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.920 Patients don't need to leave our office 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.042 to go to other offices to get different parts of the treatment done. 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.917 All the treatment is completed right here. 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.167 If the tooth needs to be extracted, I extract the tooth. 00:01:22.250 --> 00:01:26.250 If an implant can be placed the same day, I place the implant the very same day. 00:01:26.333 --> 00:01:28.417 The healing process is about three months. 00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:31.600 That's not dictated by me, that's dictated by Mother Nature. 00:01:31.630 --> 00:01:33.280 Then we make a mold of the mouth, 00:01:33.375 --> 00:01:36.042 and roughly about three weeks later, 00:01:36.583 --> 00:01:39.500 the patient gets a replacement tooth 00:01:39.583 --> 00:01:42.250 permanently bolted down to the implant 00:01:42.333 --> 00:01:44.500 and they can go about their life, eat, drink, 00:01:44.583 --> 00:01:45.833 whatever they want to do. 00:01:46.125 --> 00:01:49.083 People often assume that dental implant procedure 00:01:49.167 --> 00:01:50.792 has to be a painful procedure. 00:01:50.875 --> 00:01:55.208 I can tell you from my own experience, having done thousands of implants, 00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.640 I have not prescribed pain medications in more than 16 years. 00:02:00.833 --> 00:02:05.042 The best way to know if you're a candidate for dental implant treatment 00:02:05.125 --> 00:02:09.167 is to call our office and schedule a complimentary consultation. 00:02:09.250 --> 00:02:11.458 I always tell patients quality matters, 00:02:11.542 --> 00:02:14.208 and we're very proud that we're able to offer 00:02:14.292 --> 00:02:18.833 a very reasonably priced dental implant for top-quality product.
