Dental Implants in Novi, MI

Implants from Goldstein Dental Group are an excellent fix for patients seeking to restore functionality and confidence in their smiles.

Anyone who has lost one or more teeth, whether due to decay, injury, or other reasons, is a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically anchored into the jawbone. They serve as sturdy foundations for replacement teeth or multiple teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, creating a natural-looking and functional set of teeth.

By providing a lasting, dependable solution that enhances your smile and improves your ability to eat, speak, and maintain oral health, dental implants offer a sense of permanence and security that sets them apart as the standard for tooth replacement, enabling you to enjoy life with renewed confidence and comfort.

Understanding Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These durable structures act as a foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Designed to mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth, implants provide unmatched stability and longevity, making them an excellent choice for tooth replacement. Dental implants closely mimic the function and appearance of a natural tooth.

Whether you have missing teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, dental implants can help restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. They also support overall oral health by preventing gum recession, maintaining sufficient bone density, and protecting neighboring teeth from shifting.

Goldstein Dental Group

A Variety of Implant Options to Choose From

At Goldstein Dental Group in Novi, MI, we offer a range of implant options to cater to diverse dental needs, each providing lasting solutions and enhancing your smile.

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are an innovative, cost-effective way to secure dentures. Often completed in a single visit, these implants are significantly more affordable than traditional ones. They are especially beneficial for patients who may not qualify for conventional implants. In some cases, existing dentures can be used, further lowering the cost of this implant procedure.

Implant-Supported Bridges

This option uses dental implants instead of crowns to support bridges. Implants are surgically placed into the jaw, forming a solid anchor as they fuse with the bone over time. Typically, one implant is positioned for each missing tooth, ensuring the bridge’s stability. Implant-supported bridges are an effective solution for patients missing several teeth in a row. The bridge is then custom-created to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a stable and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Single Tooth Implant

This option avoids the need for a traditional bridge and preserves adjacent teeth. Single-tooth implants are highly durable, do not decay, and have a high long-term success rate, making them an excellent choice for single-tooth replacement.

All-on-4 Full Arch Implant Procedure

With this innovative procedure, we can restore an entire row of teeth in just one appointment at our Novi office. Using strategically placed implants, we create a solid foundation to support an implant-retained denture that securely snaps into place. These dentures provide a comfortable solution that mimics the function of natural teeth. They are permanently affixed to your jaw, ensuring stability while eating and speaking. Maintenance is as simple as caring for natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing.

Same-Day Dental Implants

Our modern technology allows for same-day dental implant procedures, minimizing downtime and accelerating healing. This means less time off work and a quicker return to enjoying your favorite foods. The specific implant size, type, and method are tailored to your needs, ensuring a personalized solution that fits you perfectly.

At Goldstein Dental Group, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction, and our team gudies you through the implant process, ensuring you receive the ideal solution for your unique circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental Implants FAQs

How long do dental implants last?

Most dental implants will last a lifetime with proper care and regular checkups.

How do I know if I am a candidate for dental implants?

Most patients are eligible for implants, with only a small number of medical and dental conditions that would disqualify someone from undergoing implant surgery.

Are dental implants better than dentures?

While both options restore missing teeth, dental implants offer superior stability, comfort, and durability compared to dentures.

How is the implant procedure?

Consultation: During your initial appointment, our experienced team evaluates your oral health and determines if you have sufficient bone density for implant placement. If needed, additional procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts may be performed. Insufficient bone quality in the upper back jaw due to its proximity to the sinus cavity can be addressed with sinus augmentation.
Surgical Placement: The implants are carefully placed into the jawbone. Over a few months, the bone fuses with the implants, creating a strong foundation.
Abutment and Crown: Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, followed by a custom-made crown or bridge that matches your natural teeth.

Are dental implants removable like dentures, or do they stay in your mouth?

Dental implants are surgically attached to your bone and permanently stay in your mouth.

How to maintain a dental implant?

To ensure the longevity of your implants, it’s crucial to practice proper care, including:

Regular Brushing and Flossing: Maintain good hygiene to prevent plaque buildup and gum disease.
Routine Checkups: Visit our dental office for regular checkups and professional cleanings.
Healthy Habits: Avoid habits like smoking or using your teeth to open packages, which can compromise the durability of your implants.

Can I get implants if I have gum disease?

Patients with active gum disease may require treatment before undergoing the implant procedure to ensure the best outcome.

How soon can I eat after getting dental implants?

Most patients can resume eating soft foods within a day, gradually returning to their regular diet as the implants heal.
