Do you need a tooth or multiple teeth replacement?

Dental Implants

Dr. Carlos Mendigutia has placed implants for over a decade. He focuses on dental implants, extractions, and bone grafting. He values quality and strives to be known as the best provider for implants. With dental implants, experience counts, and he places a substantial amount every year.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used for replacing single or multiple missing teeth.

Dr. Mendigutia uses the most up-to-date technology. With his 3D CT scanner, Dr. Mendigutia can view all the features of your oral anatomy—your jawbone, teeth, nerves, etc.—in a 360-degree view. Then, he uses this data to plan your implant placement so that it is minimally invasive. Most of his patients report experiencing little postoperative discomfort thanks to this.

Are Dental Implants Painful?

Many people get scared of the pain that placing a dental implant might cause. But, they should remember that placing an implant is often an easier task than extracting a tooth. Dental implants are placed after applying local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the process. However, they might be in slight discomfort for a few days after the surgery. It will go away once your mouth gets adjusted to the implants.

At Dental Implant Studio, we offer a wide range of tooth replacement options. Dr. Mendigutia will recommend the best treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, budget, and oral health is.

Implant Care and Maintenance

There are only two ways an implant can lose attachment to the bone and fail once it has successfully fused: poor oral hygiene or excessive biting forces. Poor oral hygiene and/or a lack of regular cleanings can lead to a destructive bacterial infection called peri-implantitis. Flossing and brushing your teeth on a daily basis, along with regular professional cleanings, can prevent this. Excessive biting forces can come from either a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth or an insufficient number of implants to handle the forces generated by your bite. You should receive the correct number of implants so this does not happen. And if you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, a nightguard will be recommended to protect your implants. After all, implants are a long-term investment in your smile, your health, and your well-being, so it’s best to protect your investment.

Taking care of your dental implants is very important so that it can sustain you for many years. Maintaining your oral hygiene routine is the main trick here. Also, visit your dentist at least twice a year to ensure that your teeth and implants are in the right condition.
