Implant

           A dental implant is a fixture meant to replace a missing tooth. The implant itself is made of titanium, or a titanium alloy, and is placed directly into the bone. This allows a dental implant crown that looks like a real tooth to be placed on top. Not only does the crown look like a real tooth, but it will act like a real tooth, allowing the patient to eat and chew like normal. When several teeth are missing a dental implant bridge can be constructed. If successful and with careful maintenance, a dental implant can last thirty years or more.

           If you have lost a tooth, getting an implant can often be extremely important. The absence of one tooth can actually cause an opposing tooth to loosen and come free. Dr. Padolsky has been a implant dentist since 1987. He was one of the first graduates of the first university based dental implant course in 1988 when he completed the Medical College of Georgia's Implant Maxicourse. He uses many types of dental implants and restorations including: implant supported bridges, endosteal implants and implant supported dentures.

           A well thought out dental implant treatment plan that considers both the implant surgery and final restorations is vital to getting dental implants that will last a long time with few complications. In addition to dental implant surgery, Dr. Padolsky can design, create, and place the implant crown that goes on top of the implant. This allows for one dentist to be in control of both phases of the procedure, thus simplifying the decision making process. This reduces the number of dental offices patients have to visit.
