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.
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.
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.

Surgical Advances
Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Bonacci 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. Bonacci 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.

Dr. Bonacci is the greatest. Very understanding and personable. After 3 previous failed implants from another oral surgeon, Dr. Bonacci knew how to fix the problem in 2 visits. Now I can smile again.

I had dental implant surgery. I was very concerned about pain from the surgery. The surgery went very well and the pain was minimal. I had few instances where I did something that even caused a little pain.

This was my first dental implant, and the procedure could not have gone more smoothly or been handled more professionally. Dr. Bonacci extracted the wisdom teeth of both my children and has done a dental implant for my wife. His credentials and performance are truly outstanding, and he was more than generous with the time…
