Dental Implants


Cleveland oral & maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Faisal Quereshy recommends dental implants to patients who are experiencing common problems such as missing or decayed teeth, and teeth damaged due to injury or trauma. Your dental implant procedure with Dr. Quereshy will be customized based on your personal needs and the current condition of your teeth. This procedure is designed to provide you with benefits such as improved comfort and a beautiful smile.

Preparing for Dental Implant Surgery

Nobel Biocare®

Dr. Quereshy will evaluate your remaining teeth and gums before dental implant surgery make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure. If you are in good health, have healthy gums and adequate bone structure to support dental implants, he will develop a customized dental implant treatment plan for you.

If the bone structure is inadequate, but you meet other criteria for dental implant surgery, Dr. Quereshy may recommend bone grafting to improve bone support and facilitate dental implants.

In the weeks prior to dental implant surgery, Dr. Quereshy will provide you with specific pre- and post-operative care instructions. You will be directed to discontinue taking medications and supplements that can thin the blood, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and vitamin E, and smoking cessation will be necessary. You should also avoid consuming alcohol a week before your dental implant surgery.

FAQ

The Dental Implant Procedure

Dental implant surgery in Cleveland & Medina OH typically involves two surgical procedures, and general or sedation anesthesia is typically used for both procedures. The entire treatment process takes 6-8 months, and each surgical procedure may take an hour or more to perform. If multiple dental implants are placed, the time needed for surgery will increase.

Anterior Tooth Implant

In this procedure, a titanium screw is placed within the bone socket to hold the new implant in place.

Block Bone Graft for Implant

For this procedure, a bone graft from your chin will be placed at the surgery site. After it heals, a titanium post will be placed to hold the new implant.

Total Arch Restoration

In cases of deterioration, titanium screws will be placed into the strong structure of the mouth, which will support the new implants.

TAD Molar Protraction Elastic

In cases of separation between teeth, orthodontics will be used to close the gaps.

The first dental implant procedure involves placing a small titanium post known as a tooth root implant in the bone socket of the tooth being replaced. This post will eventually anchor your new tooth to your gums. A temporary crown will be placed on your tooth root implant while you wait to complete the second phase of dental implant surgery.

Within 3-6 months, healing from your first dental implant procedure should be complete, and the second stage of surgery may be performed. Dr. Quereshy will take impressions of your teeth and create a crown, or artificial replacement tooth matched to your natural tooth color, based on a model of your bite. The artificial tooth will be surgically fixed to your tooth root implant with an abutment, or connector post.

Osstell ISQ Tool decreases treatment time and increases patient safetyOsstell ISQ Diagnostic Tool

We use the Osstell ISQ tool to help determine the stability of dental implants. This tool helps us decrease treatment time and increase patient safety.

Sometimes the bone varies around implants causing the implant stability to be different in different directions. This tool allows us to determine the implant stability from all directions.

Dental Implant Results and Recovery

Discomfort, swelling and bleeding will temporarily occur for 1-2 weeks following each surgery phase of your dental implant procedure. Pain medication and antibiotics should be taken as directed during the recovery period after dental implant surgery in order to minimize pain and prevent infection, and cold compresses may be used to reduce swelling.

It is important to follow post-operative oral hygiene instructions and see Dr. Quereshy as needed for follow-up appointments so he can monitor your healing progress. The final result of your dental implant procedure is a natural-looking replacement tooth and a complete, healthy smile.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial

I had a cracked tooth that required extraction. the implant process, while involved and more expensive, was the better investment and long-term choice. The implant procedure was similar to getting a cavity filled yet took less than fifteen minutes once the anesthetic kicked in. very happy with the treatment and results.
