Regain Confidence & Function
What is dental implant rehabilitation?
At our offices in Clark & Millburn implant rehabilitation is a multi-step implant dentistry process that uses dental implants and restorations to improve dental function and protect your remaining natural teeth. Dental implants are small, biocompatible posts surgically placed in the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a solid foundation for dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implant surgery restores function for chewing and biting while creating a result that looks like natural teeth.
What are the different types of dental implants available?
Various types of dental implants are available, and Dr. Szabela will recommend the most suitable option based on your specific needs. Some common types of dental implants include:
- Endosteal Implants: These are the most common type of implant, surgically placed within the jawbone.
- Short & Extra Short ( Endosteal) implants: Dr. Szabela has specialized training and years of experience performing these non-invasive options as an alternative solution for patients who don’t qualify for aggressive bone grafting procedures, which many dentists do not offer.
- Zygomatic Implants: These specialized implants are used in the upper jaw when bone quality is insufficient for traditional implants.

The implant rehabilitation procedure typically involves several stages:
- Consultation: Dr. Szabela will discuss your dental history, examine your mouth, and take 3D X-rays to determine if you are a candidate for dental implant surgery.

- Dental Implant Placement: Dr. Szabela will surgically place the dental implants in your jawbone.
- Healing: The jawbone will heal and integrate with the dental implants over several months.

Invest in Your Smile
Am I a candidate for implant rehabilitation?
If you are missing one or more teeth and are in good general health, you may be a candidate for implant rehabilitation. During a consultation, Dr. Szabela will evaluate your situation and medical history and determine if implant rehabilitation is the right treatment option to preserve your remaining natural teeth and restore your smile.
The Path to Better
Dental Implant Recovery
There are several recovery stages as part of the dental implant rehabilitation process. The first is following implant placement, when you may experience some swelling and discomfort for a week or two. Dr. Szabela will provide specific instructions on managing pain and caring for your implant site during this part of the healing process. You will also need to wait for osseointegration, or the bone grafting of the implant to the jawbone, which can take several months. Once dental implant integration is complete and your abutment is placed atop the dental implant, you should be able to care for your new smile by using the same brushing and flossing methods you normally would to care for your teeth.
Restoring Smiles & Improving Lives
Implant Rehabilitation Results
Once the permanent restorations are placed, you can expect to see the initial results of your implant rehabilitation treatment. Dental implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth, providing a long-lasting and natural-looking smile.
