If you are missing a tooth, our dentists may recommend a dental implant as an effective replacement option. Dental implants restore both the root and crown of the tooth, offering a highly stable solution that supports your oral health by stimulating the underlying bone tissue. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even an entire arch of teeth.
What to Expect During Your Dental Implant Treatment:
The first step involves the surgical placement of the implant post into your jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. These posts, typically made of titanium, act as artificial tooth roots to provide a secure foundation for the restoration. After the post is placed, a healing period follows, allowing the post to fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This integration ensures long-term stability for your dental implant.
Once the implant has healed and integrated with the bone, our dentists will place a custom restoration on top of the post. Depending on your specific needs, this restoration could be a crown, bridge, or denture, effectively restoring your smile’s function and appearance.
Long-Term Benefits:
Dental implants are designed to be permanent and can last a lifetime when maintained with good oral hygiene and regular preventive dental checkups.
