What does the procedure involve?

The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.

X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants, the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.

After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.

You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new implant.

What are the primary benefits of Dental Implants?

• Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. These permanent replacements are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile, providing the most natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
• Implants preserve your facial structure. By replacing tooth roots, implants maintain bone structure and prevent the facial sagging that often occurs with missing teeth.
• You'll enjoy improved function and comfort. Implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence, without worrying about slipping dentures or gaps in your smile.
• The solution is long-lasting. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and cost-effective choice for tooth replacement.
• Implants protect your healthy teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, implants don't require reducing other teeth, helping preserve your natural tooth structure while replacing missing teeth.
