Dental implants may be the ideal treatment if you are looking for a permanent, non-removable, or tooth-supported solution to replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants are made out of titanium. This is a biocompatible metal that fuses with your jawbone to strengthen the tissue, provide increased strength and stability, and make the restoration permanent.
As with any surgical procedure, some pain or discomfort can be expected. We'll administer sedation prior to your procedure to ensure a comfortable experience, and the dentist will happily discuss all your concerns before your surgery. Following an implant procedure, be sure to eat soft foods and give your mouth a chance to recover and adjust.
The process of receiving dental implants typically takes 3-4 appointments over several months. This includes your initial consultation, treatment planning, implant surgery, and receiving your final denture or crown.
Replacing missing teeth can improve your digestion, improve the aesthetics of your smile and prevent shifting and trauma from moving teeth.
Missing teeth cause lasting problems with proper biting, chewing, and food digestion. You also have a greater chance of developing gum disease, TMJ, and other issues if you go without replacing your missing teeth.
