DR. WILDERMAN: A dental implant can be for a person who is missing a single tooth to someone who is tired of putting their teeth in a glass at the end of the night. We can use it to replace one tooth or a whole mouth of teeth. An implant is a titanium cylinder that's placed in the area where the tooth used to be. It's essentially an artificial tooth root that I can attach a tooth or teeth to. We have a great relationship with some of the area's best implant surgeons. They have some of the latest technology to help guide and place the implants. That makes my job much easier. My patients come back and give me tremendous feedback about all the specialists that we refer people to. You really need that confidence when it comes to an implant surgeon to know that we've chosen the best surgeon possible for you. Implants are probably the closest thing we have to having your own natural teeth back. There really isn't anything that I can make that's as good as what you were born with, but dental implants are a close second.

Best of all, dental implants will be a seamless addition to your mouth. They will not only look natural and match the color of your other teeth, but function just like real teeth. You will be able to chew, speak, brush, and of course smile with renewed self-assurance.

Types of Dental Implant Restoration

Dr. Wilderman works with dental implant patients such as Nancy for three main reasons, including:

Tooth Replacement

Tooth replacement is the most popular purpose of dental implant restoration at our practice. Dr. Wilderman can restore either one tooth or multiple teeth. If just a single tooth must be replaced, he will attach a porcelain crown to the titanium implant post.

Bridge Support

When multiple teeth are missing, implant-supported dental bridges may be the best option. The difference between traditional removable bridges and implant-supported bridges is that the latter do not rely on surrounding natural teeth for support.

Denture Support

For patients who are missing most or all of their original teeth, Dr. Wilderman will suggest a partial or full set of dentures, either of which can be attached to dental implants to ensure the most stable, durable, and natural-looking results possible.

How Dental Implant Restoration Occurs

The dental implant procedure is essentially a three-step process. For maximum comfort in any restorative dentistry treatment, patients are sedated as needed.

Step 1: The oral surgeon must first prepare your gums to accept the implant. This means making an incision in the area of the missing tooth to expose either the lower or upper jawbone. Next, he will insert a titanium cylinder into the jawbone, and suture the gums with stitches.

Step 2: You may or may not be fitted with temporary restorations to get you through the ensuing three to six months of healing time. During this phase, called osseointegration, the jawbone will bond to the titanium rod insert. The doctor will outline recommendations for your optimal healing experience.

Step 3: Once the bone and cylinder have fused, it will be time for the implant restoration itself. An incision will then be made into the gums that have grown around the post. Once the artificial insert is exposed, the synthetic tooth will be carefully secured to the cylinder.

To make your recovery swift and successful, our dentist provides dental implant restoration patients in the greater Philadelphia area with specific guidance for managing pain and possible dietary restrictions during this time.
