Overview
Why replacing a missing tooth matters
Teeth can be lost to injury or decay, and a gap affects more than your smile. Over time, the teeth next to the space can shift, which may lead to gum disease or the loss of more teeth.
There are several ways to replace a missing tooth, including a fixed bridge or a removable partial or full denture. A dental implant is often the best option, because it replaces both the root and the visible crown and most closely replicates a natural tooth.
At Blossom Dental, Dr. Huda Aljonaidy plans and places implants with Yomi robot-guided surgery, and we guide you through every step, from your first consultation to your care after surgery. Whether an implant is right for you depends on an exam, and we'll talk through all of your options.
Benefits
Advantages of dental implants
01
The closest thing to a natural tooth
An implant replaces both the root and the crown, so it's designed to look, feel and function like the tooth you lost.
02
No reshaping of nearby teeth
Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant doesn't require altering the healthy teeth next to the gap.
03
Helps preserve your jawbone
Implants stimulate the bone, which helps prevent the shrinkage that can follow tooth loss.
04
Supports your facial contours
Where significant bone has been lost, implants can help restore the natural contours of your face.
Is it right for you?
Is an implant right for you?
Implants can replace a single tooth or support a bridge or denture. Whether they're right for you depends on an exam of your gums and jawbone. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are missing one tooth, several teeth or all the teeth in an arch
- Have a tooth that needs to be removed and replaced
- Would rather not have healthy neighboring teeth reshaped for a bridge
- Wear a denture and would like one that snaps securely onto implants
- Want to help protect your jawbone where a tooth is missing
What to expect
How implant treatment works
01
Consultation and planning
Dr. Huda examines your mouth and talks with you about your goals. Yomi helps her create a precise, personalized plan for your implant.
02
Robot-guided placement
The implant, a small post usually made of titanium, is placed in your jawbone to act as a new tooth root. Yomi gives real-time guidance during surgery, so placement stays true to the plan.
03
Healing
Healing generally takes three to six months, while the bone around the implant becomes firm enough to handle biting pressure. If appearance is a concern, a temporary tooth can hold the space in the meantime.
04
Your new tooth
An abutment is attached to the implant to support your final restoration. Depending on how many teeth you're replacing, that may be a single crown, a bridge, a snap-on denture or a hybrid denture.
Robot-guided implant surgery with Yomi
Yomi is a robot-guided system that assists Dr. Huda during implant surgery. It helps turn your personalized plan into precise placement and streamlines the procedure, which can mean less time in the chair. It works alongside Dr. Huda's hands and judgment rather than replacing them.
- Precise planning: your treatment plan is tailored to your mouth, and robotic assistance helps place the implant accurately.
- Real-time guidance: during surgery, Yomi gives live feedback so the procedure stays aligned with the plan.
- A more comfortable experience: precise placement can help minimize discomfort and support a smoother recovery.
- Support for healing: accurate placement is designed to lower the risk of complications, which supports healing and long-term results.
What a dental implant is made of
A dental implant replaces both the root and the crown of a missing tooth. It has three main parts that work together.
- The implant: a small post, usually titanium, placed in the jawbone to act as the new root.
- The abutment: a connector, usually held by a small screw, that extends through the gum to support your new tooth.
- The restoration: the part you see, such as a zirconia crown.
FAQ
Questions about Dental implants
Still wondering about something? Call us at (386) 947-7603 or send us a message, and we'll be glad to help.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost depends on how many teeth you're replacing, the type of restoration and whether you need any treatment first, such as a bone graft. We'll go over costs, insurance and payment options with you at your consultation, so you know what to expect before you begin.
Does getting an implant hurt?
The area is numbed before surgery, so you should feel comfortable during the procedure. The precision of Yomi-guided placement can help minimize discomfort afterward, and you'll receive instructions for caring for the area as it heals.
How long does the implant process take?
After your implant is placed, healing generally takes three to six months while the bone firms up around it. If appearance is a concern, a temporary tooth can fill the space in the meantime. Your exact timeline depends on your mouth and the restoration you need.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Implants can replace one tooth or several teeth, or support a full denture. Whether they're right for you depends on an exam of your gums, jawbone and overall oral health, and a bone graft may be recommended if you've lost bone. Book a consultation and Dr. Huda will walk you through your options.
How long do dental implants last?
Implants are designed to be a lasting solution for tooth loss. Once an implant has integrated with your jawbone, it gives your new tooth a stable, durable base. Like natural teeth, implants need good daily care and regular checkups, and results vary from person to person.
What is Yomi, and why do you use it?
Yomi is a robot-guided system that helps Dr. Huda plan your implant precisely and gives real-time guidance during surgery. It streamlines the procedure, which can mean less time in the chair and a more comfortable experience.
