Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed into your jaw to support prosthetic teeth or bridges, offering a comfortable and effective solution for missing teeth. Unlike dentures, dental implants help maintain your jaw and facial structure, providing a natural look and feel.
Missing teeth can cause many issues. These are the most common problems we see:
- Nutrition suffers due to inability to chew foods effectively.
- Embarrassment.
- Teeth may shift and/or fall into empty spaces.
- Decreased quality of life due to not being able to eat foods you enjoy.
- Dentures and partials may slip or fall out when talking or eating.
What We Offer: Dental Implant Surgery Procedure
Our dental implant services are designed to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. Here’s an overview of our comprehensive procedure:
Abutment and Crown Placement: After Osseointegration (Osseointegration is a surgical procedure that connects bone to a metal implant) is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, followed by a custom-made crown that matches the color and shape of your natural teeth.
Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation where our experienced periodontist evaluates your oral health. This includes taking detailed digital X-rays and scans to assess bone density and create a customized treatment plan.
Implant Placement: Once your treatment plan is in place, we perform the surgical procedure to insert a titanium implant into your jawbone. This implant serves as a sturdy foundation for the replacement tooth.
Osseointegration: During this crucial phase, the implant fuses with the jawbone over a few months, ensuring a secure and stable fit.
