Tooth Implants: Safe, Stable, and Beautiful Tooth Replacement

Dental Implants Presentation

To provide you with a better understanding of dental implants, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to dental implants are discussed.

Dental Implants Presentation

What are dental implants?

A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown. To replace the tooth, the surgeon first replaces the root with a small dental implant.

Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.  A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases, a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.

A smiling elderly man

“Don’t be afraid to Smile.”

For years I’d felt like a part of my body was missing — because my teeth were. My dentist told me that dental implants would make me feel and look a lot better. OK, I said. Now, I’m thrilled. I can smile, eat anything, and enjoy a good laugh with my friends.

Surgical Advances in Dental Implants

Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Faerber is able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures.

Dental implant placement is a team effort between an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a restorative dentist.  Dr. Faerber performs the actual implant surgery, initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting if necessary.  The restorative dentist (your dentist) fits and makes the permanent prosthesis. Your dentist will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial

Absolutely terrible experience and customer service. Very unprofessional and lacking in transparency and communication. We’re very adamant about me taking her myself, yet negligent in communicating fees or seeing us in a timely manner. Awful experience from a place that we had high expectations for.

Dr Faerber was recommended to me by my dentist, for a dental implant. I had been needing one for quite a while. I finally decided to do it, and called Dr Faerber to make an appt. I came in for a consultation first, and had a CT scan done of my affected area. After that, I made an appt to install the implant. The procedure was quick and painless, with the anesthesia. After a couple of months, I came in for my follow up, Dr Faerber made a quick adjustment, and I'm off to my dentist to install the crown. I had a great experience here, and I would recommend Dr Faerber to anyone. Feel free to contact me if necessary. Thank you.

I had anxiety prior to having a tooth extracted and implant placed. Luckily, the staff at Dr. Farber’s made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I was very well informed about the procedure. The surgery went perfect and recovery time was very quick. I have used Dr. Farber more than once and would highly recommend him.

The thought of implant surgery gave me great anxiety. Dr. Faerber and his entire team (assistants, office staff) worked hard to make me feel comfortable. At one point after my surgery, I was nervous about how my gums looked. I called and immediately was transferred to someone who helped me.

I would highly recommend Dr Faerber and his staff; I have had two elective implants replacing failing teeth, one emergency extraction, and a third implant later at that site. As stressful as dental work is for me, Dr Farber's office made it easier and painless, and I have the smile and dental health I want and need.

This is my first dental implant and it went remarkably well. The procedure was easy and there was little discomfort afterward. The implant seems to have healed up very well. I'm happy with my experience with this implant and Dr. Faerber.

Received an oral implant with Dr. Faerber where the duration of the procedure was originally estimated at 9 months. It did take a little longer, but would highly recommend as the staff were wonderful and Dr. Faerber's has skilled hand.
