Dental Implants

Dental implants are changing the way people live! They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything. They now can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

What are Dental Implants?

 

The best way to describe a dental implant is to compare it to a real tooth. A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. The part of the tooth that you see and eat with is called the crown. Beneath the crown is the root, which anchors the tooth through the gum tissue to the jaw bone. When you lose a tooth, you loose both the root and the crown. To replace a tooth, we first have to replace the root. Essentially, a dental implant is a new root. The titanium root is fitted into a socket that we create in your jaw, replacing the lost root of your natural tooth.

Dental implants come in various shapes and sizes and have different types of surfaces. The actual implant selection will depend on a variety of factors related to your specific treatment needs and the most appropriate one(s) will be used. Once an implant has been placed in the jaw, the bone around the implant will need to heal for two to six months, depending on the density of your bone. When this initial phase of healing is completed, a support post called an abutment will be placed into the implant itself and then a new crown will be placed on top. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.

Our Doctors have placed thousands of implants for the past 20+ years.

  • Missing One Tooth
  • Missing Several Teeth
  • Missing All Your Teeth

The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts which are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jaw bone. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts are then attached to the implant which protrudes through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth. The whole process is done with little or no discomfort.

Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which can occur when teeth are missing.

  • In good hands

    I've been a patient of Dr. Farber since 2007 when I had 4 dental implants placed in my mouth. Considering the extractions and then the procedures for the implants, it couldn't have gone smoother. I'm very pleased with his professionalism and expertise, and feel very calm and confident when undergoing any procedure. The staff is wonderful - friendly and very caring. The office is spotless.

  • Quarterly visit to Dr. Farber

    I love the coffee at the end of my visit. This is a reward for showing up. It also comes in handy on a chilly day. The variety of lotions in the ladies room put me in mind of a spa, even the "no touch" soap and garbage can is appealing. The flow of technology is always impressive, when they function correctly. It does make one wonder if we will one day be treated by robotic arms. But for the now, the quality of care is superb and many of us travel out of our way to see Carol. What we all could live without is the reminder in the waiting room of what we may be in for in the future. Dental instructional videos don't take your mind off anything.They stress you out! Then when you get in the chair, they take your blood pressure and it never reads right. Last time it was much higher; this time it was so low, it freaked me out. Also watching paintings float along the screen is not really calming when someone has pointy tools in your mouth. But this visit, I got a gold star for superb home care and a great cup of coffee. Thanks, guys.

    Dr. Farber and his team are excellent. Dr. Farber put my mind at ease even though my case has been considered by other periodontists to be hopeless. With their extensive knowledge and training I feel like I have finally found the perfect team to restore the teeth I was born without. I can not thank them enough for offering me hope.

  • Very Professional Service

    Every one in the office is quite friendly but more important they are very professional. They pay attention to detail and confer with one another to make sure that all the work is done to the highest standards. Some times it seems like the cost is high but when the job is done you know it was well worth the price. You won't have to go back in a few months and have it done again.

    I felt that a very professional job was done. I was reminded to take care of those difficult spots in the mouth that need cleaning. I think it is important to have someone remind you of how to keep your mouth in perfect condition. In addition, Dr. Farber chatted and made sure everything was a O.K. This was an excellent experience.

  • Thank-you for checking.

    Wanted to commend Carol for her persistence with getting me to the doctor to check my blood pressure. What I thought was a meaningless check at the beginning of each visit turned out to be life altering. I am now being treated for level 1 hypertension with medication, diet and exercise and my pressure is under control. Thank-you Carol and the entire team at Farber Center.

  • Thank you Dr. Farber for restoring my smile :)

    After weeks of putting off the inevitable, I made an appointment for a consult for an implant. Yesterday, Dr. Farber extracted a tooth and placed an implant. For weeks, I was very self conscious about my smile and in just a couple of hours, Dr. Farber restored it. Its really amazing!! I didn't even experience any post-op pain or swelling. He and his staff were so wonderful and gentle! If you're thinking about implants......don't look any further. This is the place to go!! Thank you Dr. Farber!!
