Dr. Collins Talks About Why Experience Can Make Or Break Your Dental Implant Placements

The Advantages of Full Mouth Dental Implants

Full Mouth Solutions

As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Collins has advanced training and skills in placing dental implants, as well as the medical knowledge to handle complex cases. He also has vast experience helping patients become good candidates for full mouth dental implants with preliminary treatments such as extractions and bone grafting. When you get full arch dental implants in Waynesboro and Charlottesville, VA, we deliver customized treatment tailored to your unique needs for a rejuvenated smile, renewed confidence, and 99% restored function. We go above and beyond to deliver personable and flexible care that blends clinical excellence with compassion.

Tooth loss can cause decay and shifting of adjacent teeth, bone loss, gum disease and its link to systemic health problems, a change in bite, jaw pain, headaches, and even temporomandibular disorders (TMJD)

Step 1: Consultation and Treatment Plan

During your first visit, Dr. Collins will perform an exam and take images using CBCT scanning technology to assess the health of your teeth, gums, and bone structure. He’ll discuss the findings with you and ask about your health, functional, and aesthetic goals. Using this information, he will develop a completely customized treatment plan and design for your new set of teeth using top dental implant technologies. You’ll schedule a date for your dental implant placement before leaving our office. If it’s determined that you need significant bone grafting and or gum disease treatment, this needs to be done prior to dental implant surgery so additional appointments are necessary. Together we’ll discuss the best option for you and if you’d like, you can see before and after case studies from real R. Jonas Collins, DMD patients including how their treatment truly changed their lives. Dental implant pricing, insurance coverage, and financing options will also be discussed. If dental implants are best for you, our Waynesboro, VA & Charlottesville, VA implant dentist completes precise surgical planning to ensure each implant placed is in the exact angle, depth, and location for optimal, lasting success, and ideal aesthetics.

Step 2: Guided Implant Surgery

While the procedure always involves local anesthetic, we offer nitrous oxide or can prescribe Valium prior to your appointment to ensure your ultimate comfort during surgery. Dr. Collins places the dental implants in the most optimal areas of your jaw with dense bone. When bone grafting and extraction of remaining teeth are simple and straightforward, this may be done the same day as implant surgery. Dr. Collins makes an incision in your gums, exposes the bone, and creates a space in the bone to insert the titanium implant screws. He has developed a unique, minimally invasive flapless method for dental implants that is efficient and simple. Last, digital impressions are taken to help the dental lab design your final restoration.

Step 3: Healing and a Beautiful New Smile

It typically takes three to six months for your implant sites to heal after surgery. During this period, dental implants fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. After they fuse, dental implants function like natural tooth roots, providing a secure permanent support for your new fixed teeth. During the final step of the process, you’ll return for fitting of your full mouth dental implants in Waynesboro or Charlottesville, VA. Patients that receive personalized state-of-the-art tooth full arch solutions from Dr. Collins experience a remarkable boost in quality of life. Greater self-confidence enables rediscovering the pleasures of eating favorite foods and living life to the fullest!
