Dental Implants: A Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants represent a revolutionary advancement in modern dentistry, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Crafted from robust titanium posts, dental implants are designed to integrate seamlessly with your jawbone, providing unparalleled stability and support for lifelike tooth prosthetics.

During the implant procedure, our skilled dental team surgically places the titanium implant posts into the jawbone beneath the gum line. Over time, these implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and durable foundation for your new teeth.

Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, custom-crafted dental crowns are securely attached to the implants, completing your smile restoration. These crowns are meticulously matched to the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Expect If My Dentist And I Decide Dental Implants Are Right For Me?

The placement of dental implants is a multi-step process that typically takes between 6 and 12 months to complete. It begins with a surgical procedure during which a titanium rod is placed where a previous natural tooth root once was. The gums are sutured shut over the implant, where is will stay for several months while it heals and begins fusing with the surrounding bone. Due to the nature of implant placement and its average procedure time of between 1 and 2 hours, you’ll be sedated and/or anesthetized for the duration of the treatment. At the conclusion of the healing period, you’ll return to be fitted for permanent crowns and have them placed.

What Type Of Post-treatment Care Will I Require?

It is normal to experience some discomfort, including bruising and swelling following a dental implant procedure. However, inflammation and pain may be managed with over-the-counter medications, hydrocodone, or codeine. You may be asked to eat only soft foods for approximately 2 weeks until the surgical site heals.
