Restore your smile with a durable, natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
Dental implants are the gold standard for restoring missing teeth. They are a conservative solution, preserving adjacent teeth while providing a natural look and feel. Implants offer the confidence to smile, eat, and socialize without worry, along with long-term durability and value. They also stimulate bone growth and prevent teeth from shifting into gaps, making them a highly effective replacement option. If you have missing teeth or issues with dentures or bridges, dental implants may be ideal for you. Our dentist will assess your needs and create a personalized maintenance plan to ensure long-term success.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants, crafted from durable titanium, provide a reliable replacement for missing teeth. Surgically placed into the jawbone, they bond securely to anchor a replacement tooth that looks and functions like natural teeth. Ideal for replacing one or several teeth, implants improve both oral health and aesthetics. Their versatility makes them suitable for placement anywhere in the mouth. Our dentist can evaluate if implants are the right choice for you.
Who is Eligible for Dental Implants?
Implants are suitable for those in good overall health, with healthy gums and adequate jawbone to secure the implant. If bone loss has occurred due to prolonged tooth absence, modern procedures like bone grafting can restore the foundation needed for implant placement. Our team will assess your needs and provide personalized guidance for restoring your smile.
Before starting, we ensure dental implants are the right choice for you:
- Oral Examination: A thorough check of your gums and teeth.
- Diagnostic X-Rays: Assess jawbone density and positioning.
- Treatment Plan: A customized plan is created and discussed to keep you informed.
The foundation for your new tooth begins here:
Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed for a pain-free experience.
Placement: An incision is made, and the implant is securely placed into the jawbone.
Healing: Over months, the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration) as gums heal.
The final phase restores your smile:
Abutment Placement: A connector attaches to the implant.
Impressions: A mold is taken for a perfectly fitting replacement tooth.
Crown Attachment: The custom crown is affixed, matching your natural teeth.
Implants can support bridges for multiple missing teeth:
Fixed Bridge: Anchored to implants, replacing several teeth with one appliance.
Natural Look: Bridges blend seamlessly with natural teeth, restoring function and aesthetics.
Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, requiring regular cleaning and periodic dental check-ups to ensure their longevity. Our dentist will provide guidance on proper implant care.
