The Cost-Effective Way to Replace Missing Teeth
Restore Your Smile with Confidence
Dental Implants at Viruet Periodontics
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance; they can impact your ability to eat, speak, and maintain good oral health. At Viruet Periodontics, we offer advanced solutions for tooth replacement, with dental implants being one of the most effective and long-lasting options available. If you’re looking for dental implants Fort Myers patients trust, Dr. Krystal Reyes-Viruet is here to guide you through every step of the process with expert care and personalized attention.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with the bone in a process called osseointegration, it provides a strong and stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and help preserve the integrity of the jawbone.
Implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, making them the preferred tooth replacement solution for many patients.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants comes with a wide range of benefits that go beyond cosmetic restoration:
- Durability: Implants are designed to last for many years, often decades, with proper care.
- Natural Appearance: Custom-crafted restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Improved Function: Enjoy the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Bone Preservation: Implants help prevent jawbone deterioration that typically follows tooth loss.
- No Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Unlike bridges, dental implants do not require the alteration of adjacent teeth.
If you’re looking for dental implants Fort Myers relies on for quality, longevity, and comfort, Viruet Periodontics is the trusted choice.
Why Choose a Periodontist for Dental Implants?
Dr. Reyes-Viruet is a skilled periodontist with advanced training in the supporting structures of the teeth, including bone and gum tissue. This makes her uniquely qualified to handle even the most complex dental implant cases. Whether you need a single implant or full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Reyes-Viruet combines surgical expertise with a compassionate approach to provide the highest level of care.
Periodontists are also specially trained in bone grafting, sinus lifts, and other preparatory procedures that may be required before placing dental implants. With her attention to detail and advanced skill set, Dr. Reyes-Viruet ensures that your implants are placed with precision for optimal function and aesthetics.
The Dental Implant Process
At Viruet Periodontics, we tailor every dental implant treatment to the unique needs of each patient. The typical process includes several key stages:
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive exam, including digital imaging and 3D scans if needed, to evaluate your jawbone and overall oral health. Dr. Reyes-Viruet will review your medical history and discuss your goals for tooth replacement.
- Treatment Planning: Based on your evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed. This may include preparatory procedures like bone grafting if your jaw lacks sufficient density to support an implant.
- Implant Placement: The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. Dr. Reyes-Viruet uses advanced techniques and technology to ensure accurate placement and minimal discomfort.
- Healing and Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable anchor for your new tooth. During this period, a temporary restoration may be provided for comfort and aesthetics.
- Abutment and Restoration: Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This piece connects the implant to the final restoration, which may be a crown, bridge, or denture.
- Final Restoration: Your custom-made restoration is placed, completing your smile. It will be designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a flawless look.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults are good candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have:
- Healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant
- Good oral hygiene habits
- No uncontrolled medical conditions that could interfere with healing
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate due to bone loss, don’t give up hope. As a periodontist, Dr. Reyes-Viruet offers advanced procedures like bone grafting and sinus augmentation to help restore your candidacy for implants.
