Endosteal Implants
What Are Endosteal Implants?
Endosteal implant is the most commonly used type of dental implant for replacing missing teeth. They require a healthy jawbone for successful placement and sufficient healing time for osseointegration. This process provides a strong and stable foundation for the replacement teeth, effectively restoring both the function and look of the patient’s smile.
Advantages
Advantages of an Endosteal Dental Implant
Endosteal dental implants offer several significant advantages for those considering dental restoration options:
High Success Rate
Endosteal implant solutions are known for their reliability and high success rates, providing a trustworthy solution for replacing missing teeth.
Durability and Strength
They offer exceptional durability and strength, closely mimicking the natural function and feel of real teeth, enabling patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Preservation of Jawbone
The placement of an endosteal dental implant stimulates the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs with tooth loss, thus maintaining the natural shape of the face.
Longevity
With proper care, these implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective, long-term dental solution.
Improved Oral Health
Unlike bridges or dentures, endosteal implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, promoting better overall oral health.
Enhanced Comfort and Aesthetics
They provide a comfortable fit and a natural appearance, improving both the functionality and aesthetics of the patient’s smile.
Choosing an endosteal dental implant is a decision that brings together aesthetic appeal, functionality, and health benefits, making it a popular choice for dental restoration.

What you need
Best Candidates for Endosteal Implants
The best candidates for endosteal implants are individuals who meet certain health and dental criteria. These candidates typically include:
Healthy Jawbone
Adequate jawbone density and volume are important to support the implant. Those with insufficient bone may require a bone graft before proceeding.
Good Oral Health
A healthy mouth free from periodontal disease is essential for the success of the implanting procedure.
Non-Smokers
Smoking can impede healing and increase the risk of implant failure. Non-smokers or those who can quit during the implant endosteal process are ideal candidates.
No Major Health Issues
Certain chronic conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease, can affect healing. Candidates should be in good overall health.
Commitment to Oral Hygiene
A willingness to maintain good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups is vital for the longevity of the implant.
Patience for the Process
Understanding and being prepared for the time required for the implant process, including healing and osseointegration.
Meeting these criteria increases the likelihood of a successful endosteal implant.

Procedure
Endosteal implant procedure
The endosteal implant procedure is a common and effective method for replacing missing teeth, providing a stable and long-lasting solution. It involves a series of steps, carefully performed by a certified dental professional, so that the implant integrates well with the jawbone, serving as a foundation for the artificial tooth.
Implant placement
It starts with inserting a titanium post directly into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root. First, the area is numbed to ensure comfort. A precise incision is made in the gum to expose the bone, followed by the careful drilling of a small hole where the dental implant endosteal is placed. Over the following months, the implant integrates with the bone.
Osseointegration
Osseointegration is a process that occurs after the placement of an endosteal dental implant, where the implant integrates with the jawbone. The bone grows around the implant, forming a strong bond that securely anchors the implant in place. This process is essential for the stability and longevity of the implant, as it allows the implant to function similarly to a natural tooth root. Osseointegration typically takes several months to complete, during which careful attention to oral hygiene and follow-up visits with the dentist are important for success.
Abutment placement
Once the implant has securely fused with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the top of the implant. This small connector piece serves as the base for the artificial tooth, or crown. The procedure involves reopening the gum tissue to expose the implant endosteal, attaching the abutment, and then closing the gum tissue around, but not over, the abutment. The next step is final – a brand-new, shiny tooth.
New teeth
After the abutment placement, the final step in restoring a missing tooth with a dental implant is attaching the new teeth, or crowns. These artificial teeth are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. The crowns are securely attached to the abutments, providing the look and function of natural teeth. This allows you to eat, speak, and smile confidently, with a durable and long-lasting solution to missing teeth.

My recent visit to the dentist for dental crowns exceeded all my expectations. The attention to detail and the dentist’s commitment to perfection were evident throughout the procedure. I’m genuinely impressed!

Doctor Edward Doktorman luckily for me, has been my Dentist of choice for so many years. I have done multiple implants, root canals, bone graft, new posts and crowns, deep cleaning, filling, recementing, and other dental procedures in this office, and never had any issues afterwards. Dr. Edward and his staff are also great people on the personal level, very accommodating, very friendly, nice, helpful, go out of their ways to make the patient feel comfortable, and always smiling and joking with patients to lessen the stress of being at the dentist office. The Doctor always takes X-rays much more often than other dentists do before and after procedures (at no add’l cost to the patient) to make sure his work is done perfectly and satisfactorily. He always takes his time to explain in details what the diagnosis is and what needs to be done in an easy to understand language. You are no doubt in good hands with Doktorman.
From phone, to door, to chair, back to the door, this was a very positive experience. I put off a root canal for way too long. Don’t do that, by the way. Anyway, I ended up with a very angry abscess, went to one of those online doctors for $65 and got antibiotics and a dental rinse, and as soon as the swelling was sufficiently down, I decided to just have the tooth yanked. Back molar, not going to miss it too much, a lot cheaper than even going to Los Algones Mexico for a root canal which honestly these days makes a lot more sense than having it done for the higher price (even when factoring in air fare and hotel for dental tourism to Mexico) here in the States. In any case, everyone, and I mean everyone at this office is so friendly and polite and professional and efficient. It just so happened, and I certainly can’t guarantee this nor could this dentist, but I ended up being charged slightly less than the estimate they gave me. Even had it been the top and of the estimate, it’s still would have been a good deal. I would add that I am not a fan of Novocaine at all, and have had dental work done before without the shot because the regular pain I can handle, but I’m a baby about the Novocaine shot. This time I didn’t want to mess around since I was having a tooth pulled, but the dentist gave a fantastic shot and the entire procedure he did an excellent job. The healing process has been going very well with the exception of a bit of sharp bone sticking out the inner side of my gum (according to Google, this is not abnormal after a tooth extraction) and attacking my tongue on that side. I let them know about this today which is a Monday. I’m not scheduled to be back to have the stitches out until Thursday, but they told me that they would fit me in tomorrow.So let’s review: everyone in that office is friendly, professional, responsive, accommodating and efficient, the pricing is very gentle, and the dentist himself Dr. Doktorman does excellent work. So if you’re anywhere in reasonable commute distance and in need of a dentist, this seems like a pretty obvious choice. Going to a dentist is not recreational, but seriously, you’re going to be happy with them here.
