What are Holistic Dental Implants?

Holistic dental implants are a type of dental implant that places a greater emphasis on the patient's overall health. They aim to create a positive impact on the entire body, not just the oral cavity. Holistic dental implants use biocompatible materials, including ceramic, zirconia, or titanium, to ensure that the body doesn't reject the implant.

Why Choose Holistic Dental Implants?

Holistic dental implants take a more natural approach to tooth replacement, focusing on the overall health of the patient, rather than just the restoration of missing teeth. This approach involves working with the patient to ensure that their overall health is taken into account during the implant process. This includes the use of biocompatible materials, as well as working with the patient to improve their oral hygiene and overall health.

Another reason to choose holistic dental implants is that they are a more sustainable and eco-friendly option. Traditional dental implants use materials that are not biodegradable, whereas holistic dental implants use biocompatible and biodegradable materials.

Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.

Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Drs. Abron and Miller are able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them, but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures.
