Multiple Dental Implants - New Albany, MS

Phase One: Getting to Know You

If you’re not already eligible for dental implants, you more than likely can be soon. We may need to do a few preliminary procedures to prepare your mouth for implants. This is just one of the factors we’ll determine during your free, personalized consultation here at our office. We’ll also discuss your smile goals. We need to understand your vision for your smile in order to develop a tailored treatment plan that can help us achieve it.

This initial visit also includes a full dental examination. During this we use our in-house cone beam CT scanner to capture detailed 3D images of your mouth. Operating with a fraction of the radiation output of comparable equipment, this technology gives us a complete picture of your dental health beneath the surface. Armed with this information, we’re able to do extensive planning ahead of the procedure for the best outcomes. From it, we can develop the design for a customized stackable guide that will make implant placement faster, smoother, and more precise.

Phase Two: Placing Your Implants with Precision

When you come back for dental implant placement, our first task is to make you comfortable with sedation. Once you’re relaxed, our New Albany, MS dental implant team will begin any necessary related procedures you might need, like a tooth extraction or, if your jawbone has begun to recede, bone grafting to rebuild it. If you’ve been missing teeth for a long time, you’re more likely to need bone restoration to support dental implants. Remember that stackable guide we mentioned above? Here’s where it comes into play. We get your customized guide from a renowned manufacturer and put it over your gums before placement. We then surgically insert durable, biocompatible, screw-like implant posts into your jawbone using the guide as our template. With it, we’re able to place your implants at just the right angle for a comfortable fit and lasting performance. Our team uses Nobel Biocare products extensively—implants, guides, and planning technology—so you can be sure nothing but top-quality products are going into your smile. Nobel is an industry leader in dental implants. We’ll anchor temporary dental crowns, or depending upon where you’re missing teeth, implant supported bridges to the implant posts during this visit. You’ll be able to begin enjoying a normal life again while your jaw is healing and your custom crowns or bridges are being made for you!
