Dental Implant Specialists 

Looking for dental implant care in Central Indiana? You have come to the right place. LADD Dental Group has a variety of board certified dental implant specialists that want to give you the smile you have always dreamed of! Below you will find some videos and content regarding dental implants and our dental implant specialists


Single tooth ImplantSingle-tooth implants can be used in people who are missing one or more teeth. An implant is surgically placed in an opening that your dentist makes in the jawbone. After the implant integrates (attaches) to your bone, it acts as a new "root" for the crown that will replace your missing tooth. A crown (cap), which is made to look like a natural tooth, is attached to the implant and fills the space left in the mouth by the missing tooth. 

For this procedure to work, there must be enough bone in the jaw. The bone has to be strong enough to hold and support the implant. If there is not enough bone, it may need to be added with a procedure called bone augmentation/bone grafting. In addition, natural teeth and supporting tissues near where the implant will be placed must be in good health. 

 


Multiple Dental Implant TeethThe greatest cost efficiencies occur when the number of teeth being replaced increases. Dental implants are proven to be many times stronger than natural teeth. As such, one implant can often support the load of more than one tooth. Hybridge Treatment Protocols determine and establish the fewest number of dental implants that are required to support the specific number of missing teeth. By minimizing the number of implants, the cost per tooth significantly decreases to the benefit of our patients. When multiple front teeth are missing, esthetics become an important part of the patient's objectives. One of the initial determinations surrounds the patient's "smile line." The size of the smile and what shows when smiling widely will help determine the design of the restoration. 

Front teeth are required to tear food so that it can be chewed on the back teeth. A Dental Implant Multiple Tooth Bridge that replaced front teeth must provide both strength and beautiful esthetics. The latest ceramic materials in the industry are utilized at LADD Dental Group. Zirconia and Lithium Di-Silicate are ceramics that have been shown to have very high strength and fracture resistance as well as the ability to replicate the natural beauty of tooth enamel. A temporary unit is always made so that during the process, at no time will there appear to be teeth missing. 

Restoring function is the chief objective of Multiple Back Teeth. The replacement of missing back teeth can be accomplished with as few as two dental implants. Each implant supports the ends of the "bridge" with a rigid, ceramic, tooth-like structure that is permanently fastened. It is designed to look like the teeth that it is replacing, and for easy daily maintenance and cleansability. The materials for the back teeth are similar to the front teeth, with the exception that it can be made less expensively when perfect esthetics are not required due to the location. Treatment time is dependent on the condition of the jaw bone at the start of treatment. A temporary unit can be worn during the process as required by each patient.
