Losing a tooth can lead to more than just a gap in your smile; it results in the loss of the tooth root and, eventually, a deterioration of the jawbone. Dental Implants are the premier, long-term solution because they uniquely replace both the missing tooth root and the visible crown.

In Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Dr. Omar Nijem is an expert in the planning and placement of dental implants, using advanced digital imaging and guided surgical techniques to achieve unparalleled precision, bone health, and aesthetic results.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement due as they are the only restoration that prevents bone loss and offers unmatched stability.

Benefit Description
Preserves Bone Health The titanium implant post stimulates the jawbone, just like a natural root, preventing the bone atrophy that occurs with tooth loss.
Superior Stability The implant fuses with the jawbone, offering a foundation that allows for chewing and speaking with the same confidence as natural teeth.
Natural Aesthetics The custom-crafted porcelain crown placed on top is designed to match the exact shade and contour of your adjacent teeth, delivering authentic results.
Independent Solution Unlike a dental bridge, an implant does not require altering neighboring healthy teeth for support.
Longevity With proper care, dental implants are designed to be a permanent, lifelong solution.

The Dental Implant Process with Dr. Nijem

Dr. Nijem utilizes the latest in implant technology to ensure a successful and predictable outcome for patients seeking permanent tooth replacement in Palm Beach County.

Step 1: Planning and 3D Imaging

The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a Cone-Beam CT Scan (CBCT). This 3D imaging allows Dr. Nijem to precisely assess your bone structure, nerve pathways, and sinus locations. This data is used to create a digital plan, ensuring the implant is placed in the ideal position for stability and long-term success.

Step 2: Implant Placement

During a minimally invasive surgical procedure, a small, biocompatible titanium post (the implant) is strategically placed into the jawbone. Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort. For patients with dental anxiety, sedation options can be discussed.

Step 3: Healing (Osseointegration)

The implant requires a healing period of several months, during which the jawbone naturally fuses with the titanium post. This process, called osseointegration, is critical as it locks the implant permanently into place, providing the unparalleled stability for which dental implants are known. A temporary restoration may be provided during this time.

Step 4: Custom Restoration

Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, and your final, custom-designed Porcelain Crown is secured on top. Each restoration is customized to match the exact shade and contour of your unique smile.

Implant Applications: From Single Tooth to Full Arch

Dental implants are highly versatile and can be used to treat various levels of tooth loss:

  • Single Tooth Replacement: An implant and a custom crown replace one missing tooth perfectly.
  • Multiple Tooth Replacement: Two or more implants can support a fixed Dental Bridge, replacing a section of missing teeth without relying on natural abutment teeth.
  • Full Arch Replacement (All-on-4®/All-on-X): A full arch of missing teeth can be permanently secured using just four to six implants, eliminating the need for traditional, removable dentures.

Achieve Unmatched Stability and Confidence

Don’t settle for removable solutions. If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental implant provides the closest thing to having your natural tooth back.
