Dr. Pathak provides implant-supported crowns and bridges at Shan Dental as incredibly beneficial, permanent solutions for patients dealing with missing or severely damaged teeth. Compared to all other kinds of dental restorations, such advanced dental treatments replace teeth that look natural, function optimally, and provide comfort that is far superior to any other alternative. You can bring back your smile and oral health with confidence.
● An implant-supported crown: This is a restoration for a single tooth that uses a dental implant so that there is a stable and permanent solution for a single missing tooth.
● An Implant-supported bridge: This is a device that is used to replace multiple teeth, with one end anchored to two or more dental implants. This makes it a very secure and durable alternative to common bridges that depend on neighboring natural teeth.
● Durable & Long-Lasting: Dental implants are made from biocompatible materials like titanium, which allows an effective bond to the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. This provides a strong basis on which to rest the crown or bridge; it is also possible that this will last a lifetime if properly cared for.
● Natural Look & Feel: Implant-supported restoration is constructed specifically to resemble the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, thus contributing to a smooth and beautiful smile.
● Improved Function: Because implant-supported crowns and bridges are anchored directly into the jaw bone, they behave like natural teeth; you can chew, speak, smile, and laugh comfortably without worrying about movement or slippage.
● Preservation of Jawbone Health: Unlike traditional crowns or bridges, implant-supported restorations help maintain the health and structure of your jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.
● Avoid Altering Adjacent Teeth: Unlike typical bridges, which necessitate the shaving of healthy teeth for the support of adjacent teeth, implant-supported crown for one missing tooth &/or bridges only compromise those portions where the implants are placed, so there is not need to drill and shave natural teeth adjacent to those missing space.
Implant-supported crowns and bridges offer a long-lasting, functional, and aesthetic solution for patients with missing teeth. Unlike traditional restorations, these prosthetics are anchored to dental implants, which integrate with the jawbone to provide superior stability and support.
1. Consultation & Assessment: Dr. Pathak will evaluate your oral health condition through digital X-rays and 3D scans to see whether you are an ideal candidate for dental implants. The treatment goals will be discussed, and a customized plan will be made for you.
2. Implant Placement: If you decide to have dental implants, Dr. Pathak surgically places them in your jawbone. This procedure is considered minimally invasive and requires local anesthesia and careful attention to ensure your comfort throughout.
3. Healing & Osseointegration: Over the course of several months (usually 3-6 months) after the implants are placed, the bone will integrate with the implant to provide a solid foundation on which to place the restoration.
4. Crown or Bridge Customization: After successful integration of the implants, we will take impressions of your mouth for custom crowns or a bridge to be fabricated that perfectly matches your existing teeth.
5. Attachment of Crowns or Bridges: As soon the crowns or bridges have been specially designed for you, Dr. Pathak will apply the crowns onto the implants in a secure manner.
Your restoration is now complete, and you have prepared a strong, functional, and aesthetic final result.
Implant-supported crowns and bridges can last many years to a lifetime with good care. Here’s how to make sure they stay in good condition:
● Brush Two Times & Floss: Keep your crowns or bridges clean by brushing two times a day and flossing at least one time a day to remove bacterial/plaque deposits and food particles. Installing special-fitted tools for flossing for implants may help to clear around implant areas with floss.
● Checking with the dentist: Visiting Dr. Pathak frequently will enable the patient to have their teeth cleaned and watched for signs of wear as well. Such checkups usually advise the patient on the overall status of implants and how the patient’s restorations are functioning.
● Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: Although implant-supported crowns and bridges can be very forgiving, avoid chewing on hard objects such as ice or nuts that can damage this type of restoration.
You are most probably a candidate for the ideal crown or bridge when:
● If one or more of your permanent teeth are missing or destroyed.
● Healthy gums and adequate bone around the jawbone on which to anchor an implant. If much bone mass has been lost, then added surgery such as grafting bone might be recommended to regain bone structure.
● Excellent overall health and commitment to observing oral hygiene visits at the dentist.
