Dental Implants

What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small titanium screws that are placed in the upper or lower jaw bone. Dental implants are a comfortable replacement to your natural teeth. They are an alternative to bridges, partial and complete dentures. They may also be used to hold loose dentures.

History and success rate

Primitive forms of dental implants were used by the early Egyptians and the Romans. The first endosteal dental implant was placed in Sweden in 1965. Dental implants were introduced to the US in the early 1980s. Long and short term studies have shown success rate to be 90% and higher.

Who is a candidate for dental implants?

Anyone missing single, multiple or all their teeth is a candidate. Dental implants are indicated as long as you are in good general and oral health.

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients experience very mild discomfort following implant placement, usually less than a tooth extraction.

How long does treatment take?

It varies depending on the complexity of the situation. It may be as short as few weeks to as long as 18 months.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

  • Replace missing teeth
  • Maintains the bone after tooth loss
  • Improved appearance
  • Better chewing ability
  • Stabilizes partial and complete dentures
  • Improved speech
  • Improved comfort
  • Improved self-esteem

Guided implant surgery


What is guided implant surgery?
It’s a treatment modality that requires pre-planning through the use of CBCT scan technology in combination with 3-D implant planning software. This requires few visits to the dentist and a cone beam scan prior to the surgery. It can be used for single missing tooth, or for patients who are missing all their teeth.

Dr. Garine uses the NobelGuideTM software manufactured by Nobel Biocare for implant planning. This makes the dental implant surgery as accurate and safe as possible.

Benefits:

Accurate implant placement
Less chair time
Minimally invasive procedure
Minimal post-operative discomfort

 

Dental implants are often the best option for patients with missing teeth and those faced with the loss of a tooth to disease, injury or reconstructive dental procedures. If you live in North Palm Beach, Juno Beach, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Stuart or Hobe Sound, Dr. Garine is a noted Prosthodontist serving dental implant patients in the Jupiter area since 2004. His research papers in implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and reconstructive denstistry have been published and received numerous awards. None of which compare to the rewards he receives "each and every day" from his patients. To find out why Dr. Garine's dental implant patients offer such praise, give us a call at (561) 747-4272 to schedule your consultation.


The treatment of oral problems and injuries to the teeth, root or gums has presented a challenge to denstists for centuries. Today, the specialty of esthetic and reconstructive dentistry has advanced in ways that were unimaginable when George Washington had his false teeth carved from the finest ivory. The replacement tooth used in modern prosthetic dentistry is usually manufactured from a pure grade of titanium. Once the titanium post has been surgically inserted, the supporting stud has a sculpted replacement tooth or bridge affixed to the top of the post. Dental implants are very durable and should last for many years. The success rate for dental implant surgery is well above 90% making it one of the most reliable corrective dental procedures.


When you visit our dental clinic, Dr. Garine can explain how dental implants can put a smile on your face even if you've already lost teeth due to disease or injury. He fully understands your needs for oral reconstruction using prostheses to improve aesthetics and restore proper dental function. Although many of our North Palm Beach, Jupiter, Stuart and Hobe Sound patients already have some type of partial bridge, advancements in prosthodontics and implant dentistry can be used to resolve many issues patients have with talking or chewing food. As long as you are in good health, you are a likely a good candidate for implant dentistry. Our goal is to always make your mouth look and feel the best. Discover the difference when you visit Garine Prosthodontics.


Prior to any dental surgery or implant dentistry, detailed planning is required to determine the absolute placement for your new teeth. The exact steps required for your dental implant surgery will vary based on the amount of post-extraction time that has elapsed and the condition of the bony structure surrounding the extraction site. A proper diagnosis for the treatment planning of your dental implants will be made using advanced cone beam 3D imaging technologies to accurately pinpoint the vital structures in your mouth. Dr. Garine will take all the time needed to answer your questions, provide clinical information and address any concerns you have prior to scheduling your dental implant procedure.


The healing time required for your dental implant surgery will depend upon the actual procedures that the doctor has to perform. In some cases, there may not be sufficient bone for insertion of the posts and bone grafting may add to the process. For implant dentistry to work, there must be ample bone and the bone has to be strong enough to support the dental implant. In certain situations, your dental implants can be placed and restored with a temporary fixed bridge during the same procedure. In the event of missing teeth, Dr. Garine may recommend multiple dental implants be used with a fixed-bridge implant or clip-on denture that is removed for daily dental hygiene and cleaning.


Only a prosthodontist or dental surgeon trained in implant dentistry can recommend the best solutions for replacing missing teeth and restoring your dental function. Sometimes, Dr. Garine will suggest the use of immediate dentures, complete dentures or partial dentures as the prosthesis of choice to replace teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Whether you need dental implants, ceramic crowns, dental veneers, dentures or a partial bridge, Garine Prosthodontics offers the most advanced techniques for cosmetic dentistry, bonded restorations, implant dentistry and teeth whitening procedures. Give our office a call today to schedule your consultation to discuss your need for dentures, a partial bridge or dental implants.
