An alternative to conventional dentures and bridges, dental implants are titanium posts that are anchored into the jaw to support artificial teeth, thereby replacing one or more missing natural teeth. Dental implants reduce bone loss in the jaw by preventing the jaw from falling into disuse. Surgery is an essential part of the dental implant procedure. To help ensure a successful result, the patient should have healthy gums and enough bone in the jaw to support the implant structure. The Dental Implant Suite at Tischler Dental is the only the surgical suite with a dedicated CT Scan in the Hudson Valley.

Dental Bone Grafting
Dr. Tischler is a leader in the field in bone grafting science and techniques. Bone is needed to support a dental implant. There are very few situations where bone can not be grown to support a dental implant. Dr. Tischler performs all types of grafting procedures including sinus grafting. Sinus grafts are often needed in the back of the upper jaw since the bone is soft and forces are greater. The many article Dr. Tischler has written on bone grafting can be seen here. This often leads to tooth loss. If the patient lacks the bone structure to support the implant, dental bone grafting surgery can be performed. In dental bone grafting, bone from another part of the mouth or body is adhered to the bone at the implant site to help encourage the bone to repair itself and add more structural support. After the dental bone grafting procedure is completed and the jaw has adequately repaired itself, the dental implant is placed in the patient’s mouth. To learn more about bone grafting, contact Tischler Dental.
Dental Implant Procedure
A dental implant is made up of a titanium screw and an artificial tooth. The procedure to place one or more dental implants takes place in several stages over multiple visits, more if dental bone grafting is needed. Due to the extensive amount of healing that is required, the entire process can take between three and six months, depending on the healing time needed by the patient.
The first part of the dental implant surgery involves the placement of the implant into the jaw bone. Patients who lack the necessary bone density for the anchor will require dental bone grafting surgery prior to this step. Once the bone in the implant site is deemed suitable for an implant, Dr. Tischler drills a small hole into the jaw and secures the titanium screw in place. During the healing process, additional bone will grow around the implant to secure it into place. Called osseointegration, this process is vital to the success of the implant as a whole.
Once the implant site and gums have healed, it is time to place the artificial tooth. During the final part of the dental implant procedure, a temporary replacement tooth is affixed to the post of the implant while the permanent tooth is crafted in a lab. The placement of the temporary tooth allows the gum to form naturally around the tooth so that it easily blends in with the surrounding natural teeth.
