The Many Advantages of Dental Implants

• If you are missing teeth due to an accident,
  tooth decay, or another oral disease, you may be
  a good candidate for the dental implant procedure
  at the office of Dr. M. Shoaib Khan. Dental
  implants replace damaged tooth roots and provide
  a foundation for your new permanent or removable
  teeth. Our dental laboratory technicians create
  them to match your natural teeth as closely as
  possible.

A Reputation of Success and Longevity

• With a success rate around 98 percent, dental
  implants are an ideal option for people who want
  to improve the function of their existing teeth
  as well as their smile and appearance. They also
  offer numerous benefits. Some of these include
• Look, feel, and function like natural teeth

• Permanent placement, which eliminates the need to
  use adhesive gels
• Improved speech capabilities, unlike dentures
  that may slip and affect pronunciation of certain
  words
• Can last for a lifetime with proper care
• More comfortable than removable dentures
• No need to alter surrounding teeth to support the
  new implant

5

• Improved chewing ability and few restrictions on
  the food you can eat
• While all of these are wonderful benefits, the
  self-esteem boost you get from dental implants
  cant be measured. You can smile confidently
  because you no longer have gaps in your mouth
  where your teeth used to be. You also dont have
  to worry about your new teeth slipping out of
  place and causing embarrassment as can happen
  with removable dentures.

• People who smoke, have diabetes or heart
  disease, or who have recently had radiation
  therapy in the head or neck area may not be a
  good candidate for this procedure. However, Dr.
  Khan evaluates each patient on an individual
  basis.

The Process of Getting Dental Implants

• At your first appointment, Dr. Khan places the
  tooth root implant into the bone socket of the
  area where you are missing a tooth. The
  replacement implant is made of titanium. Over the
  next six to 12 weeks, the jawbone heals and grows
  around the metal post. This process is necessary
  for it to anchor securely to the jaw.

• Next, Dr. Khan creates an abutment to hold the
  new tooth or teeth in place. After taking several
  impressions of your mouth and teeth, he sends the
  images to our lab to create your replacement
  teeth. When he receives them back, he permanently
  secures your new tooth to the abutment.
