Dental Implants: Durable Foundations for Replacing Missing Teeth
Implants are small, titanium posts that serve as replacement teeth. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the natural bone, creating a sturdy base for artificial teeth. This fusion process, known as osseointegration, makes implants one of the most stable and long-lasting options available for tooth replacement.
The Dental Implant Journey
The journey toward restoring your smile with implants begins with a personalized consultation. During this time, our dedicated team will determine if implant dentistry is the right choice for you. Once it is decided that implants are a suitable option, the next step is the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone. Our skilled implant dentist and team use state-of-the-art techniques to ensure the highest level of care and comfort during this procedure. After the implant has been placed, a period of healing is necessary for osseointegration to occur. This can vary from person to person, typically ranging from a few months.
Following the healing phase, the next step is the attachment of a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the implant. This prosthetic component is what gives the final touch to your smile, meticulously crafted to match the natural color, shape, and size of your teeth. The result is a seamless and functional restoration that enhances not only your smile but also your confidence.
