How Do They Work?

We to make receiving dental implants at The Center for Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry a smooth, stress-free experience. Dr. Matthew Cawley brings precision and care to every stage of the process, which includes:

  • Planning: We begin by pinpointing the ideal location for your implant to ensure optimal results.

  • Extractions And Bone Grafting: In order to prepare your mouth for implants, we may need to pull any diseased teeth that will be replaced. Bone grafting, on the other hand, can restore volume and fullness to the jaw, making sure there is enough support for your implants. Learn more about extractions and bone grafting at The Center for Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry.

  • Implant Placement: A titanium implant is gently inserted into the jawbone to serve as a strong foundation for your artificial teeth.
  • Osseointegration: Over time, the implant fuses with your bone through a process called osseointegration, becoming a permanent part of your smile.
  • Placing Your Artificial Teeth: After your implant has fully integrated (absorbed by your jawbone) we craft custom artificial teeth from digital impressions that look and feel just like natural, healthy teeth. Digitally designed right here in Chesapeake, VA, our dental implants restore not just your smile, but your confidence too.

Types Of Dental Implants

We take a personalized approach to your care ensuring your treatment plan is unique to your and your oral health needs. The best implant for you will vary based on factors such as the number of teeth we need to replace. Options include:

  • Single Implant: If you’re missing just one tooth, a single dental implant is the perfect solution. The implant acts like a natural tooth root, securely bonding with your jawbone over time. Once healed, we place a custom crown on top that blends in beautifully with your smile.
  • Implant Bridge: Missing several teeth in a row? An implant-supported bridge may be your best option. Instead of relying on your other teeth, these bridges are anchored by implants placed in your jaw. The result is a secure, natural-looking smile that feels strong and stable. With this option, you’ll be able to chew comfortably and smile freely without worrying about shifting or discomfort.
  • Implant Supported Denture: Tired of loose or uncomfortable dentures? Implant-supported dentures snap onto dental implants instead of resting on the gums for a secure, stable fit. That means you don’t have to worry about using adhesives or dealing with slippage when eating or speaking. They look and feel comfortable, and give you back the confidence to enjoy life without the hassle of traditional dentures.

  • All-on-X: All-on-X implants are a modern solution for replacing a full set of teeth. All-on-X uses four or more implants placed strategically in the jaw to support an entire arch of new teeth. Unlike traditional implants, patients will oftentimes leave our office with a temporary prosthetic so that you don’t have to live without teeth while you heal.

FAQs About Dental Implants

We strive to provide our patients with all the right information they need to make an informed decision about their oral health. Surgery can feel intimidating, and it is normal to have questions!

Unfortunately, not everyone is a good fit. Patients must have healthy gums and enough bone density to support the implants. Dr. Cawley will thoroughly examine your mouth and review your medical history in order to determine if they are a good choice for you.

When performed by experienced implant specialists like our dentists, implants are considered safe. They boast a 97% success rate at 10 years post-procedure, according to the Journal for Oral Medicine and Oral Surgery.

Yes! They are made from biocompatible titanium and they are able to safely integrate with the jaw bone through osseointegration.

For your comfort, we perform the implant procedure under general anesthesia. After your surgery, you can manage pain and discomfort with pain medication.

It takes several months, beginning with your consultation and including the implant placement procedure, healing time and the attachment of your new artificial teeth. We believe the results are worth it. Once completed, you will be able to use your dental implant as if it were your own natural tooth or teeth.

Cost can vary widely based on the type of dental implants that you need and your insurance plan. Some plans cover a portion of the cost. We are happy to work with you to figure out how much your plan will cover.

While you are healing, stick to soft foods and avoid chewing directly on the implants. As soon as you can comfortably, you should return to a regular, balanced diet.

Implants are incredibly durable. With the proper care, your new smile will last for a lifetime!
