Orlando Dental Implants

If you are looking for an Orlando implant dentist, look no further than Dr. Aschacher's office. With two convenient Orlando locations and a friendly and well trained staff, they can help you plan your procedure. The first step will be a planning time, in which the vital structures are mapped as well as the shape and dimensions of the bone so that the implants can be properly oriented. This is done through two-dimensional radiographs and sometimes CT scans.

The actual procedure is done by preparing the bone using either a hand osteotomes or precision drill to place the implant. After a variable amount of time has passed to allow the bone to grow on to the surface of the implant, a crown or crowns can be placed on it. Healing time can vary greatly. Generally, practitioners allow for 2-6 months of healing, as if the implant is loaded too soon it could move. There are three approaches to dental implants that vary within this time frame: immediate post-extraction implant placement, delayed immediate post-extraction implant placement (2 weeks to 3 months after extraction) or late implant (three or more months after tooth extraction). You can work with the dentist in order to decide which of these procedures will be the best one for you.

Dental implants are root devices, made of titanium, that support the restoration of a tooth or a group of teeth. The majority of dental implants today are root-form endosseous implants. They are similar to the actual tooth root and are placed within the bone of the jaw, which accepts and osseointegrates with the titanium post. This is the fusion of the implant surface with the surrounding bone. Even after the implant has fused with the bone, it will still feel slightly different than surrounding natural teeth while chewing as it lacks the periodontal ligament, but not enough to be a bother. Before root-form implants were developed, most implants were either blade endosseous implants, in which the shape of the metal piece placed within the bone was similarly shaped to a flat blade, or subperiosteal implants, which were framework that were constructed to lie upon the jaw and attached into place with screws to the exposed bone.
