Have you heard about dental implants? If you’re missing teeth, dental implants are a replacement option that lasts a lifetime and is as close to your original, natural teeth as possible. When you lose teeth, extra stress is put on the teeth that remain since they have to function twice as hard to compensate for the lost teeth.
While we offer many different replacement options, such as dentures and dental bridges, you may want to consider investing in dental implants to fully restore your smile and promote your oral health. Since dental implants mimic natural teeth, they stop atrophy and deterioration of your jaw bone and prevent healthy teeth from shifting.
Dr. Zeina Waked is an implant-certified dentist, restoring Strongsville smiles with natural-looking dental implants. Dr. Waked can both place and restore your implants, which means the whole process is more convenient. First, Dr. Waked will surgically place a titanium rod into your jaw, and as it heals it will fuse to the bone, acting as a root for a prosthetic replacement. Once the implant is fully healed, Dr. Waked is happy to restore your smile with a perfectly matched, custom-made dental crown. The crown is permanently bonded to the post and looks and feels natural.

Mini-Implants
Like traditional implants, mini-implants offer a natural aesthetic and promote your oral health. However, they are smaller in diameter and work in places that traditional dental implants can’t. This means if you’ve lost a tooth in an area where your jaw bone isn’t as dense, you may still be a candidate for replacement with implants. Because they are smaller, they are also generally more cost-effective as well. Mini-implants also work on incisors and front teeth, where a dental crown restoration would also have to be smaller. Healing time with mini-implants is shortened, and can sometimes be fully completed in one visit. Ask us if mini-implants are right for you.

Implant-Retained Dentures
Do you currently wear dentures, or are you considering full smile replacement using dentures? Worried about how secure they are, and afraid of embarrassing slips? Implant-retained dentures offer a solution for patients who need a full arch of teeth restored, but with minimal invasion. By using dental implants to secure your denture instead of just natural suction, you’ll get all the benefits of a beautiful smile with the confidence of secure, comfortable dentures. We’ll craft a new set of natural-looking dentures, and in some cases, we may be able to alter your current set to work with dental implants.

All-on-4
With just 4 dental implants placed in a specific location, we can permanently anchor a full set of prosthetic teeth. Different from dentures, these fixed bridges are non-removable and require the placement of only four dental implants to secure them. This restoration has reduced healing time and generally a lower expense than traditional dental implants, and in most situations, is completed in just a few visits. You’ll have a gorgeous, complete smile that you can show off while you eat and speak with confidence.

Technology
Dental technology is a big part of the placement and restoration of dental implants. We use a Galileos CT scanner to capture high-resolution 3D images of your mouth and ensure accurate, precise placement of dental implants. We strive to bring you the most advanced dental care possible!
