The Right Dental Implants Can Make Your Smile Great Again

May 1, 2017

Missing teeth can affect you in a lot of ways.

They can leave you feeling embarrassed or ashamed of your smile. They can make it difficult if not impossible to eat many foods.

And losing teeth can affect how you speak as well, which is something that is less amusing when you are 60 than when you were 6.

You don’t have to feel embarrassed or frustrated with your lack of teeth, however. You can visit our dentist office in New Albany, IN, instead. Through our restorative dentistry, we have helped patients from all over the United States rebuild their smiles.

Part of the reason we can do this is because we offer both standard and mini dental implants. We’ll explain why that makes a difference below.

If you are ready to learn more, contact us by calling 888-469-3982 or by filling out our online form.

A Little History About Dental Implants

Dental implants are prosthetics for the roots of your teeth. Just like a prosthetic hand or a prosthetic foot, dental implants are meant to replace a part that is missing.

The way modern dental implants came about was a bit of an accident. Dr. Per-Ingvar Brånemark, a Swedish doctor, was doing research on blood circulation when he made a discovery that changed restorative dentistry.

Dr. Brånemark had placed titanium cylinders in the leg bones of rabbits as part of a research study. When he tried to remove the cylinders, he found that the bone had bonded directly to the titanium.

We don’t know what happened to the rabbit research, but we do know that Dr. Brånemark placed the first set of dental implants in a human patient in the 1960s. Since then, others have built on his groundbreaking findings to make teeth replacements better than it has ever been.

How Dental Implants Help

Before dental implants, dentures were about the best you could hope for if you were missing all your teeth or a whole row of teeth.

Since dentures were not anchored in place, they could slip out of place when you were eating or just talking to someone. And the longer you have dentures, the more likely they are to slip.

Dental implants address this by creating a direct connection between your dentures and your jawbone. After your implants embedded in your jaw, we can attach your dentures to the implants. The makes your dentures much more secure and stable.

Just as important, it helps to restore the power behind your bite. With implant-supported dentures, you can eat practically anything that you could before you lost your teeth.

In a real sense, implant-supported dentures don’t just restore the appearance of teeth in your mouth. They also restore the function of your lost teeth as well.

The Kinds Of Dental Implants

Standard dental implants work great for many but not all patients.

The reason for this is that your jawbone will begin to shrink when you start losing teeth. Without roots to press into your jaw, the bone does not create new tissue to replace old tissue. Over time, this leads to a smaller jaw (which also explains why traditional dentures become looser with time).

If you replace your missing teeth relatively soon after losing your teeth, then you may have enough bone to support standard dental implants. If you wait too long, your jaw may not be able to support full-size implants.

This may not be an issue if you come to New Albany Implants because we also offer mini implants for our patients.

Mini implants have a smaller diameter than standard implants. This allows us to place them where standard implants won’t fit.

You will also want to know that mini implants have been proven to provide comparable benefits to standard implants. Both can secure your dentures and restore your bite, and both can provide the stimulation your jawbone needs to maintain its shape.

You Can Trust Our Experience

Dr. Ron Receveur, the founder of our New Albany, IN, dentist office, has placed thousands of implants for hundreds of patients. He knows what to look for when examining your jaw, and he knows how to determine what kind of dental implants will work for you.

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.

I recently had implants put in by Dr. Receveur. I was scheduled to have sedation that morning, but wasn't able to due to my sugar issues from diabetes. He assured me he would keep me comfortable so I agreed to go ahead with the procedure. He did just that, he kept me comfortable as promised and I didn't feel a thing. During the procedure he also talked to me the whole time explaining what he was doing, which also helped ease my anxiety. The entire staff there are so nice and informative, they can answer any questions you may have. All I can say is to anyone that is hesitant to have this procedure done, I honestly wish I would have had this done a long time ago! Dr. Receveur and his staff are AMAZING, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
