Dental Implants to Replace Missing Teeth Bloomingdale

How do dental implants work?

Replacement of a single tooth

Dental implantation of a single tooth is considered the replacement of a body part; therefore, it is important that only the highest quality materials are used. As a dental implant specialist, Dr. Chinwalla uses an industry-leading dental implant system that has more than 30 years of clinical research and documented success rates upwards of 95%. Depending on the site of the missing tooth, he will recommend one of the following methods:

Implantation for a Front Tooth: In most cases, an immediate placement approach for the front tooth is done at the same time as tooth removal, allowing the greatest preservation of bone surrounding the extracted tooth, faster healing times, and the convenience of a single visit.

Implantation for a Molar Tooth: Molar teeth that require dental implants are usually approached with a delayed placement approach. The molar tooth is first extracted, and bone regenerative materials are given 3-4 months to heal before a dental implant is placed. In some select cases, molar teeth can be treated like single rooted teeth, providing the patient with an immediate dental implant placement following a molar tooth extraction.

Replacement of multiple teeth

The procedure for replacing multiple adjacent teeth is similar to the replacement of a single tooth. Whether a full or partial replacement of teeth is necessary, dental implants can be used in strategic areas of the mouth to serve as anchors onto which a denture can snap on. Dental implant-supported dentures have become the standard of care, and are the only treatment that helps prevent bone loss, helps preserve your appearance, and eliminates slipping, shifting and chattering of dentures. With dental implant-supported dentures, you can bite and chew naturally, enjoy your favorite foods again, and improve taste sensation, all without any effect on your speech.

Treatment of Gum Recession Bloomingdale, IL

Previously, gum recession was treated using soft tissue grafts, which were performed by harvesting tissue from the roof of the mouth. With new developments in periodontal care, 95% of receding gums cases can now be treated with a tissue-like material known as a regenerative matrix.

Introduced in 1994, regenerative matrix materials were originally developed to treat burn victims. Today it is widely used in plastic reconstructive surgery in both medicine and dentistry. This procedure eliminates the need to do surgery on a second site in the mouth to harvest patient’s own tissue, allows more than one tooth at a time to be treated, and eliminates the possibility of bleeding gums. Regenerative matrix materials deliver a highly predictable treatment with better, faster healing. To achieve these results, readily available donor tissue replaces damaged gum tissue. The donor tissue undergoes stringent screening processes identical to those of other implantable tissue or organs.

Periodontal Disease & Your Overall Health

Treating periodontal disease (gum disease) can significantly reduce the risks for heart

disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, cancer and diabetes.

Periodontal disease is an inflammation of the gums (swollen gums) and bone that surround your teeth. The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) estimates that 3 out of 4 Americans are affected by gum disease, ranging from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis.

Numerous other diseases are also caused by inflammations of some kind. Studies have shown that periodontal disease has a direct link to other inflammation-based diseases such as:

Heart disease and Stroke: As per the current recommendation by cardiologists and periodontists, Periodontal disease is now a known risk factor for heart disease. The other known risk factors for heart disease are, high cholesterol levels, hypertension, smoking, obesity, diabetes. In fact studies have shown that people with periodontal disease are twice as likely to suffer from heart disease as those without.*

Alzheimer’s Disease: Alzheimer’s Disease is an inflammation of the brain. Studies have shown that patients with periodontal disease are four times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and by age 70 are nine times more likely to test in the lower range of brain function tests.

Arthritis: Arthritis, a chronic inflammation of the joints, can be exacerbated by periodontal disease.

Cancer: Periodontal disease can increase the risk of head and neck cancers by four times. Men with periodontal disease are over twice as likely to develop pancreatic cancer.

Diabetes & Obestity: Periodontal disease is a now a known complication to diabetes. Inflammation is common to all three, periodontal disease, obesity and diabetes, making treatment of all these three conditions more difficult to manage. However, numerous studies now indicate that treatment of periodontal disease in diabetic patients, helps reduce their blood glucose level.

Treatment of chronic periodontal disease can significantly lower your risk level for these other diseases.

Treatment of Periodontal Disease Bloomingdale

Treatment of Periodontal Disease

According to studies, patients with untreated periodontal disease (gum disease) lose a greater number of teeth per year.

Periodontitis or gingivitis treatment is dependent on the severity of periodontal disease, but should never be an unpleasant experience. Typically our patients go through the following steps:

    Comprehensive periodontal and oral examination
    Oral cancer screening
    Home care instructions
    Non-surgical treatment: Scaling and Root Planing
    Re-evaluation following scaling and root planning
    Periodontal procedures / surgery: Pocket Reduction Therapy,
    Regenerative Tissue Procedures, Soft Tissue Grafts (see
    Treatment of Gum Recession), Replacement of Teeth via Dental Implants
    Long-term maintenance: two semi-annual visits with Dr. Chinwalla

For patients that have already lost a tooth to periodontal disease, dental implants are currently the best option. With dental implants it is possible to prevent bone and tooth loss in the future. The scope of dental implant therapy varies based on the number of teeth lost, severity of bone loss in the area to be treated, and the site of the mouth where teeth need to be replaced.
