Dental Implant Therapy

March 12, 2015 by Florence Dentistry

Lost a tooth? A dental implant may be your best option!

A dental implant is an artificial root that is surgically placed within the bone of the jaw to replace a missing tooth (or even to hold an attached denture or bridge). An implant can be a magnificent replacement for an individual who has lost a tooth due to periodontal disease, injury or extraction.

There are two forms of implant therapy

–          Endosteal: this is the most common type of implant available – the method is placing a screw within the bone of the jaw.

–          Subperiosteal: this type of implant is placed adjacent to the bone, with the metal framework protruding through the gingiva (gums) to hold the prosthesis. This type of dental implant is best for patients who cannot wear conventional dentures and/or who have minimal bone height within the jaw

Are you a candidate for a dental implant?

The ideal candidate for a dental implant would be a patient with good oral health and without any periodontal disease. Adequate bone is required for a dental implant and if there are insufficient bone levels, bone grafting would be necessary.

Specific reasons and treatments that require dental implant therapy

–          Replacing a single tooth: self-explanatory… one implant attached to one crown

–          Replacing several teeth: implant supporting a bridge

–          Replacing all of the teeth: implant supporting a full denture

What to expect after dental implant therapy

–          If you were sedated during surgery, you may feel light headed and drowsy… your dentist will recommend you have a family member or friend drive you home

–          It is recommended to begin taking your prescribed pain killers PRIOR to the sedation wears off to ensure your comfort and relief of any residual pain from the surgery

–          Light bleeding adjacent to the implant is to be expected… you can use gauze (sterilized by your dentist) to stop the bleeding

–          Side effects over the next few weeks can be swelling, soreness and bruising… this is all normal, however should it last longer than a few weeks, consult your dentist

Should you fit the criteria for dental implant surgery, at Florence Dentistry we are more than willing to walk you through the initial consultation and hold your hand through the recovery period – we accept all insurance companies, offer payment plans and direct bill.

Updated Review Monday January 15, 2018 ******************************************** Yesterday I had yet another visit to Dr. Lysik and this was another absolutely amazing experience! I had a root canal and of course I was wide awake during the procedure! I've gone through much of my life as avoiding dentists because of a very unpleasant experience as a very young child! I would water until a simple cavity became an extraction! Then, I would go to an oral surgeon and be put to sleep! Then, a couple of years ago I came to know Dr. Lysik and long story short, I became her patient! She is caring, sensitive and makes one feel most comfortable! I put my trust in her and without disappointment! In conclusion, I highly recommend her to anyone and especially to those whom have a dead of dentists! ????????read more

Prior to going to Florence Dentistry I hadn't seen a dentist in 10 years, and only ended up pulling the trigger on in once a tooth was causing me daily pain. I was very nervous about the whole experience, but they were all extremely warm, welcoming and professional. After the first teeth cleaning session the pain was gone, and after a few more visits Dr. Pershad my cavities were filled as well. It's a tremendous relief not worrying about the health of my teeth anymore. I couldn't recommend their services more highly.read more

I came to this dentist office after my dentist passed away. It was a blessing to find. Dr. Lysik is a dentist from a true vocation and I trust her advice completely. The work of the staff is exceptional: very careful, educating the patient and full of sincere care. The lady in the front is wonderful. I very strongly recommend this dental office, it is a treasure.read more

I am seeing Dr Edit Lukacs Dragoi for 2 years now, and I had my first repair (2 things) this week. I wanted to write a rewiew because I was very impressed. She is the most attentive dentist I have ever met. She is very gentle and I feel that she is a great human been. I like her a lot.read more

been here today for the first time after *YEARS* without seeing a dentist (Shame on me!). I was here for a cleaning. I have to say I am a VERY anxious person and I really do not feel comfortable when I go to the dentist's; however, my experience here was AMAZING. My dentist's name was Celia (if I spelled it correctly) and she was very delicate, understanding, and she put me at ease from the beginning. I actually am looking forward to the second part of my cleaning next week. Also the lady at the front desk was super friendly. I really recommend this place!read more
