Anatomy of a Dental Implant Implants provide a strong foundation for replacement of missing teeth, a single tooth, multiple teeth, or as a sturdy base for bridges or a full set of teeth. What is a dental implant like? CROWN ABUTMENT Fitted over the portion of the implant that protrudes from the gum line. Fitted onto the abutment for a natural appearance. TITANIUM IMPLANT Surgically fused with the jawbone. Dr. Gocke is an absolutely amazing surgeon. He was brilliant, professional, and personable. Even though this was a complicated case, he took great care of me, so that I could make a full recovery. Joshua C. actual patient of Dr. Gocke 4 Dental Implants
Implants Step-by-Step When it comes to restoring your smile because of one or several missing teeth, you want to select an expert in oral surgery like Dr. Gocke, who can deliver long-lasting cosmetic and functional results while speeding up recovery time and minimizing time needed in the operating chair. 1ST STEP An initial evaluation with jaw & skull x-rays and computerized mapping of where the implants will be placed. 2ND STEP If your health conditions are optimal, Dr. Gocke may be able to place your new permanent smile in just one appointment! So if you were missing one, several, or all of your teeth, you can walk out of our practice with a completely functional, naturally beautiful smile. However, not all patients qualify for implants in a day. The details must be discussed first with your oral & maxillofacial surgeon. 5 Dental Implants
3RD STEP Whether you are wearing your final smile or a temporary prosthesis, we must allow time for the implant and the jaw bone to heal and fuse together as with natural tooth roots. This process is called osseointegration. Dr. Gocke s advanced single-dose anesthesia can locally numb the surgery area for three days for you to get back to your life faster and pain-free! I had my consultation and surgery on the same day and Dr. Gocke made sure to inform me of everything I needed to know/expect before, during, and after my surgery. He even called me several hours after my surgery to check up on how I was doing and to see if I had any questions or concerns, which I really appreciated.

Dental implants look, feel, and function like your own teeth. Improved speech. Missing teeth or slipping dentures can cause you to slur your speech. Securely placed implants allow you to enunciate clearly and confidently again. Improved oral health. Implants protect your underlying bone tissue from disintegration and are cared for just like your natural teeth. Durability. Implants are extremely strong and durable and are a permanent solution to missing teeth. Implants will not decay like natural teeth and are as close to forever as you can get. Improved self-esteem. Knowing your smile is healthy and complete, restores your confidence to speak, laugh, and eat whenever you want without embarrassment. 7 Dental Implants
Your Smile s Potential With Dental Implants 1. SINGLE IMPLANTS When a patient needs only a single tooth replaced, the oral & maxillofacial surgeon will use a single implant with only one crown. All dental implant options help ensure the structure around your missing teeth doesn t get compromised by keeping your teeth from shifting into incorrect positions. 2. IMPLANT-SUPPORTED FIXED BRIDGES Implant-supported fixed bridges allow patients who need to replace several teeth in the same section of their mouth. Using a fixed bridge, the oral & maxillofacial surgeon can replace multiple teeth as one solid piece rather than multiple implants in a small area. 8 Dental Implants
3. TEETH-IN-A-DAY IMPLANTS The Teeth-In-A-Day procedure provides a permanent solution to a frustrating situation. Using a series of implant posts in the jawbone and placed with optimal surgical accuracy, Dr. Gocke can secure a full upper or lower set of teeth to match your facial features perfectly. You can forget about denture adhesives or embarrassing slippage and focus on going about your daily life with confidence. Dr. Gocke and his office provided an excellent experience. It was a friendly atmosphere, quick, and smooth process. They provided detailed guidance on what to expect before, during, and after my procedure, answered all my questions, and were proactive in following up with my progress. I would recommend his office to anyone. Shayla C. actual patient of Dr. Gocke 9 Dental Implants
