Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically implanted into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They provide a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth, allowing for natural-looking and functional smiles.Implants fuse with the jawbone, providing long-lasting support and preventing bone loss.
Patients who are seeking a long-term solution for missing teeth and desire a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth are ideal candidates for dental implants. Whether missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even entire arches, dental implants offer a permanent and reliable solution for tooth replacement. Candidates should also be in good overall health and free from conditions that may interfere with the healing process, such as uncontrolled diabetes or immune disorders.
Candidates for dental implants should have realistic expectations about the procedure and its outcomes. While dental implants boast a high success rate, individual results may vary. Patients should be willing to follow their dentist’s post-operative instructions carefully and attend regular follow-up appointments to ensure the long-term success and stability of their dental implants. Overall, individuals who prioritize oral health and are committed to achieving a beautiful, functional smile are excellent candidates for dental implants.
Dental implants offer unparalleled stability, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence. They are securely anchored into the jawbone, preventing the shifting of adjacent teeth and ensuring proper alignment. Taking care of dental implants is simple, as you can brush and floss them just like your natural teeth. This makes maintaining your oral hygiene routine hassle-free. Additionally, dental implants improve speech clarity and prevent the discomfort often associated with dentures. At Vivian A. Sorkin Periodontics and Dental Implants, we are committed to providing high-quality care tailored to your unique needs, guiding you through every step of the process to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
The ‘All-On-X’ concept utilizes strategic placement of implants to maximize bone support and minimize the need for bone grafting procedures. This makes it an ideal option for patients with reduced bone density or volume in the jaw. By distributing biting forces evenly across the implants, All-On-X implants offer unparalleled strength and durability.
With All-On-X dental implants, patients can enjoy a permanent and fixed solution to complete tooth loss, eliminating the need for removable dentures. This innovative approach not only improves oral function but also enhances aesthetics, providing patients with a natural-looking smile that boosts their self-esteem and quality of life. All-On-X implants represent a transformative option for individuals seeking a comprehensive and long-lasting tooth replacement solution.
During an All-On-X dental implant procedure, we begin by evaluating the patient’s oral health and bone structure to determine the optimal placement of implants. Typically, four implants are strategically positioned in the jawbone to provide maximum support for the full arch of prosthetic teeth. These implants serve as anchors for the new set of teeth, ensuring stability and functionality.
During a sinus augmentation procedure, we make an incision in the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone. The sinus membrane is then gently lifted, creating a space where bone graft material, such as synthetic bone or the patient’s own bone, can be placed. This additional bone material serves as a scaffold for new bone formation, enhancing the stability and success of dental implants in the posterior upper jaw.
Sinus augmentation is a common and effective procedure that allows patients with inadequate bone structure to undergo dental implant placement and restore their smile. Following sinus augmentation surgery, patients may experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and proper post-operative care. Over time, the newly formed bone integrates with the existing bone, providing a solid foundation for dental implants and ensuring long-term stability and functionality.
During a ridge augmentation procedure, we begin by making an incision in the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone. Bone graft material, which can be sourced from the patient’s own bone, donor bone, or synthetic materials, is then placed along the ridge to fill in any defects or deficiencies. The graft material serves as a scaffold for new bone growth, allowing the ridge to regain its natural shape and density over time.
Ridge augmentation is an effective solution for patients with inadequate bone structure who are considering dental implant placement or seeking to improve the appearance of their smile. By restoring the contours of the jawbone, ridge augmentation can help ensure the long-term success and stability of dental restorations while enhancing facial aesthetics. Patients interested in ridge augmentation should consult with a qualified dental professional to determine if this procedure is suitable for their individual needs.
Furthermore, ridge augmentation significantly improves oral health by enabling the successful placement of dental implants, which replace missing teeth and restore full functionality to the mouth. This procedure enhances the patient’s ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently, contributing to an overall better quality of life. By addressing bone loss and creating a solid foundation for implants, ridge augmentation helps prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth and other complications associated with insufficient bone structure. Our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized care and ensuring that your ridge augmentation procedure is performed with the utmost precision and care, leading to a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
During the guided surgery process, we begin by obtaining detailed digital scans of the patient’s mouth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. These scans are then used to create a virtual 3D model of the patient’s anatomy, allowing us to carefully plan the optimal placement of dental implants. With the aid of specialized software, we design surgical guides that serve as templates for precise implant placement during the actual surgery.
On the day of the surgery, the surgical guides are securely attached to the patient’s teeth or jawbone, providing us with accurate guidance and positioning for implant placement. This level of precision ensures that the implants are placed in the ideal location, depth, and angulation for optimal stability and long-term success. Guided surgery offers numerous benefits, including reduced surgical time, minimal discomfort, and faster healing, making it a preferred choice for both patients and dental professionals alike.

Guided surgery offers patients a reliable and efficient solution for restoring their smiles with dental implants.
Non-surgical treatments for peri-implantitis may include professional cleaning of the implant surfaces to remove bacterial biofilm and calculus buildup. Antibacterial mouth rinses or local antibiotics may also be prescribed to help combat infection and reduce inflammation. In more advanced cases, surgical interventions such as flap surgery, bone grafting, or implantoplasty may be necessary to remove diseased tissue, promote tissue regeneration, and improve implant stability.
Regular maintenance and follow-up care are essential components of successful peri-implantitis treatment. Patients are advised to maintain excellent oral hygiene practices and attend regular dental check-ups to monitor the health of their implants and surrounding tissues. With timely intervention and diligent oral care, peri-implantitis can be effectively managed, allowing patients to preserve their dental implants and enjoy long-term oral health and function.
