What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a well-established and effective option for replacing missing or damaged teeth. As part of the treatment, Dr. Ficca will use a dental implant to replace your natural tooth root. Once the site heals, your restorative dentist will attach a crown to the implant. This approach offers you a variety of benefits:

Icon of Tooth With Thumbs Up

Natural Appearance and Function

Dental implants are fixed in place — they aren’t removable appliances like dentures. Because treatment replaces the entire tooth structure, implant restorations look and act like your original teeth.

Simple to Maintain

You can brush and clean around crowns supported by dental implants in the same way that you brush your natural teeth.

Bone Preservation

Bone in the area of a missing tooth will erode over time. Dental implants mimic the natural tooth root, which keeps bone from disappearing.

Immediate Improvement

Whether or not you receive a same-day implant, Dr. Ficca can provide you with a temporary restoration so that you never have to leave the practice with missing teeth.

Same-Day Placement

Based on his advanced training and experience, Dr. Ficca can often extract teeth and place dental implants in the same surgery. This same-day approach significantly reduces overall treatment time and allows for enhanced esthetics.

Treatment That is Tailored to You

Optimal results from dental implants come from careful coordination between the implant surgeon and the restorative dentist. Before specializing in dental implants, Dr. Ficca spent years as a general dentist. His knowledge of both sides of the treatment process results in more aesthetic and durable outcomes.

“Simply the best! Dr. Ficca’s team is a caring, professional and talented group. After losing a front tooth I had no idea what an implant would entail. Dr. Ficca explained the entire process to me, and patiently answered all of my questions. It’s been six months since the implant, and I couldn’t be happier. ”
Mat H.

“I went through the tooth implant process with Dr. Ficca and his staff over the course of six months in 2020. From the moment I walked into my first appointment, Dr. Ficca and his staff have been highly professional, friendly and competent. The whole process was a great experience. To anyone searching for a fantastic periodontist with a great staff, I highly recommend Dr. Ficca.”
Marc S.

“I would recommend Dr. Ficca and his staff to anyone needing any periodontal treatment. Dr. Ficca is my hero! He saved my teeth!!! He did gum grafting on all my gums in 2008 and do you know I did not have any issues or problems during the entire healing process! Dr. Ficca and Nannette do an incredible job of protecting my teeth; deep cleaning and maintenance!! They think of everything for your comfort and safety, even safety glasses!”

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants

If you are missing teeth or need to have damaged teeth removed, you should consider dental implants. You may also want to explore implants if you are unhappy with your dentures or other tooth replacement.

Even patients who have significant bone loss can be candidates for dental implants. At his state-of-the-art practice in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Ficca uses advanced grafting techniques to restore strength and stability to the jaw bone. This allows him to place dental implants in sites that weren’t possible before. We encourage you to come in for a consultation to explore your options.

During your visit, Dr. Ficca will talk with you about your goals for treatment and examine your teeth and surrounding tissues. He’ll review your X-rays and may take 3D X-rays, also known as a cone beam CT scan, to get insight into the supporting structure of your teeth.

Typically, Dr. Ficca performs bone grafting in the same procedure as placing dental implants. In some cases, patients receive a bone graft and then wait several months so that the site can become strong enough for an implant. As part of your consultation, Dr. Ficca will help you understand your treatment plan and answer any questions you have.


What Is It Like Recovering from Dental Implants?

You’ll have your procedure in-office with local anesthesia or local with IV sedation. The latter option allows you to sleep through the entire experience. In either case, you should be completely comfortable and not feel any part of your treatment.

Surgery to place a single implant usually takes under an hour. As a periodontist, Dr. Ficca will also use techniques to condition the gums and surrounding soft tissue. This will promote a more natural appearance once you receive your crown.

In the two days following the procedure, our patients usually take ibuprofen and Tylenol®. Most people describe the symptoms as “minimal discomfort.” You can expect to return to normal activities on day three, and minor swelling and discomfort should fade over the next few days.

You’ll have a follow-up visit with Dr. Ficca two weeks after receiving your dental implants and then 8-10 weeks later. Once your implants are secure, you’ll visit your restorative dentist, who will place your permanent crowns. Dr. Ficca and our staff will be in close contact with the restorative dentist throughout your treatment to make sure your final outcome is as secure and natural-looking as possible.
