The development and use of dental implants is one of the most important advances in the industry in the last 40 years, according to the American Dental Association.
Consisting of materials compatible with the human body, dental implants are round, screw-shaped cylinders made of titanium alloys that can be surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw as a replacement for natural teeth. Prior to the availability of dental implants, removable dentures were among the few options available to people suffering with the kind of oral issues that could lead to tooth loss.
Dental implants are quickly becoming more popular than dentures. Because removable dentures cannot be permanently fixed in the mouth like dental implants, dentures can cause issues when food becomes trapped beneath them. Dental implants are permanently fixed into the jaw, acting as a replacement for roots of missing teeth, and are used to support permanent replacements.
People with dentures can lose up to 75 percent of their chewing force, however, chewing force, facial dimensions lost to bone atrophy and the prevention of future bone loss can all be accomplished with dental implants.
While dental implants are becoming more popular, they are not a good fit for every person. “Not everybody is a candidate for dental implants,” said Dr. William Kachele, Jr., D.M.D. Patients must have adequate bone in their upper and lower jaw in order to properly anchor the implants, and gums must be free of infection.
It is recommended that consumers who are interested in exploring dental implants should seek out a skilled practitioner who is knowledgeable and keenly aware of the latest options in implant placement and care. Kachele has 30 years of experience and he is committed to continuing education in his field, as well as implementing the most cutting-edge technology and restorative dental techniques.
“With today’s technology, we’re able to provide implant placement and restore them with optimal safety and results,” he said. “When combining the latest in techniques with the best in dental implants and dental laboratory products, we are able to provide beautiful smiles again, smiles that can change lives permanently for the better.”
Kachele uses the newest in cone beam CT scanning capabilities that allow him to obtain a 3-D image of the patient’s mouth. “It enables us to design an individual treatment plan, giving us precision results specific to each individual’s specific shape of jaw and mouth.”
Thanks to the latest in dental technology, Kachele said most patients are able to receive same-day implant services at his office. He uses the revolutionary procedures and technique created by Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemarke – the father of the modern dental implant – allowing dental implants to fuse to the bone and remain in place permanently. Not all practitioners are able to provide same-day implants.
Patients should choose wisely when selecting a provider. Dental implants placed by an experienced practitioner exceed success rates of 95 percent. Patients should make sure practitioners continue to educate themselves and stay up on the latest techniques, materials and procedures available.
“Our mission has always been quality you can afford,” he said. “I use only proven dental technology and high-quality materials. I am able to complete the whole procedure from start to finish, without switching from one practitioner to another using several stages, which not only adds to the cost, but can cause a loss of continuity, risking good results.”
