How Dental Implants Restore Missing Teeth
Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots after the loss of one or more natural teeth. Made of a safe and biocompatible metal, the implants are placed in your jaw and provide a stable base for your replacement teeth. Implants allow our team to treat a range of tooth loss conditions, whether you need to replace a single tooth or want a brand new smile with implant-supported dentures. They are also durable, stable, and long-lasting, giving you a healthy, functional smile for many years to come.

The Top 3 Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer our patients a wide range of benefits, including:
- Improved Appearance: Because they bond with your jawbone, implants stimulate bone tissue growth. This means they restore the natural contours of your face, preventing the sagging and sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss.
- Boosted Confidence: With a complete and fully functional smile, you'll feel more confident in your personal and professional interactions, making you feel better about yourself overall.
- Long-term Durability and Functionality: Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime. You can enjoy the ability to eat your favorite foods without restrictions and speak naturally without worrying about slippage or discomfort.

The Implant Procedure
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants require a minor surgical procedure to be placed inside your mouth. The process of dental implantation involves several steps:
- Consultation and Examination: The first step is your consultation at our office. Our experienced dentist will perform a thorough examination of your mouth and overall oral health. They will discuss your goals, answer any questions you may have, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
- Treatment Planning: Once you are deemed a good candidate for dental implants, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific case. This plan will outline the number of implants required, the type of restoration needed (such as a crown, bridge, or denture), and the timeline for the procedure. We will work with you to fit your treatment into your schedule.
- Implant Placement: Next, you will arrive for the surgery. During the implant placement procedure, the titanium posts are carefully positioned in your mouth. This is performed under local anesthesia and sedation to ensure your comfort.
- Healing: Over time, your implants will fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This will providing a stable and long-lasting foundation for your replacement teeth.
- Restoration: After the implants have fully integrated, we will attach the custom-made dental prosthetics, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, to the implants. These restorations are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing you with a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
