WEBVTT 00:00:05.771 --> 00:00:08.560 Here we have a titanium implant. 00:00:08.561 --> 00:00:12.043 Now, obviously, it's not going to be this size going into your mouth, 00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:18.243 but this model shows how the implant is buried into the bone. 00:00:18.386 --> 00:00:23.028 It's a titanium screw type that has threads, 00:00:23.029 --> 00:00:25.360 and the bone grows into the threads here. 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.171 What happens over time is the bone will integrate 00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:34.200 into the implants so that its foundation is solid in the bone. 00:00:35.043 --> 00:00:36.513 Once that occurs, 00:00:36.514 --> 00:00:39.247 and it takes about five months for that to grow in, 00:00:39.248 --> 00:00:42.040 then we can attach different parts to the implant. 00:00:43.257 --> 00:00:46.929 Here I have an attachment that's for a crown, 00:00:46.957 --> 00:00:49.929 and that just screws in just like that. 00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:52.640 Then on top of that, we can build a crown. 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.943 The nice thing about this is now you can floss between the teeth. 00:00:56.944 --> 00:01:00.614 It's easy to clean, and it feels very much like a natural tooth. 00:01:00.829 --> 00:01:03.743 People are always surprised at how easy 00:01:03.744 --> 00:01:06.957 the experience is in placing a dental implant. 00:01:07.086 --> 00:01:11.171 I oftentimes will tell people, it's like having a filling done. 00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:13.514 There's no stitches, there's no bleeding. 00:01:13.771 --> 00:01:15.143 The patient goes home 00:01:15.144 --> 00:01:20.457 they may take an Ibuprofen at night after the procedure, 00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:25.814 and the next morning, they're amazed at how easy it was. 00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:30.719 Relatively little pain associated with the implant. 00:01:31.186 --> 00:01:33.080 People are often surprised by that. 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.671 One of the benefits of having the technology I have is 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.742 we used to have to send to a lab 00:01:38.743 --> 00:01:41.086 and have a flipper band ahead of the surgery, 00:01:41.214 --> 00:01:44.639 and they would have a stone model of the patient's mouth, 00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:46.114 cut off the tooth, 00:01:46.243 --> 00:01:49.242 and make a plastic insert that goes in and out of your mouth. 00:01:49.243 --> 00:01:50.943 You couldn't really chew with it. 00:01:51.686 --> 00:01:54.286 It didn't look terrific at all. 00:01:55.371 --> 00:01:59.786 With our technology, we can make a temporary crown made out of porcelain, 00:02:00.371 --> 00:02:04.100 and color it and make it match the adjacent teeth. 00:02:04.457 --> 00:02:06.985 It's a much better thing. It doesn't come in and out of your mouth. 00:02:06.986 --> 00:02:08.914 It's permanently seated there 00:02:09.043 --> 00:02:13.014 until we're ready to uncover the implant and place the crown.
