Dental Implants

Dental implants are a popular, permanent and effective way to replace missing teeth. They are a long-term solution for restoring your smile and are designed to blend in with your other teeth.

The steps for a dental implant procedure:

Implant Placement:

A titanium or ceramic threaded post is surgically placed into the jawbone. This threaded post integrates with the bone over several months to create a solid foundation. The post represents the artificial tooth root.

Healing Period:

Over the next few months, osteointegration will occur. This involves the  jawbone growing around the implant, securing it firmly in place.

Abutment Placement:

Once the implant has integrated with the bone and is stable, a small connector post called an abutment is attached to the implant. This connector post will hold the new tooth (crown/cap).

Restoration:

A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed on the abutment, completing the restoration. The end result is a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth.

Dental implants with proper care can last a lifetime. Dental implants aid in improving chewing function, enhance speech, and preserve bone. They blend with your natural teeth for a natural-looking smile.
