Dental implants are metal posts surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums to provide stable support for artificial teeth. Some people who have lost bone in their jaw can still get implants, but first, the bone must be augmented with a bone graft. Dentures and bridges mounted to dental implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth, making you feel more comfortable and confident about eating and speaking. After receiving implants, regular follow-up visits are essential.
Book today!During your initial visit, our team will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. We'll use dental imaging to ensure your jawbone can support the implants and address any medical conditions or concerns you may have.
The implant procedure involves surgically inserting a titanium post into your jawbone, serving as a sturdy foundation for your new tooth. This phase includes healing time for the post to fuse with your jawbone, ensuring a stable and lasting result.
Once the implant has integrated with your jawbone, we'll place a custom-made porcelain crown that matches your natural teeth. This final step restores the appearance and function of your smile, giving you confidence in your daily activities.
For the best long-term outcome, it is important to have a healthy oral environment and reduced stress on the implant. As with any teeth, grinding habits, poor oral hygiene, and malocclusion (uneven bite) can cause loosening of the implant.
Here's what your first visit will look like:
*All you have to do is mention this offer at your visit.
1. Partial and full dentures- Partial and full dentures can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth. Partial dentures have metal clasps that snap on to the adjacent teeth. Dentures are used when all teeth (upper, lower or both) have been lost. All types of dentures are always removable.
2. Bridge- A bridge helps fill the gap in the mouth where a tooth is missing. The teeth adjacent to this space are filed down to accommodate crowns. A false tooth is attached to these two new crowns, and “bridges” the gap.
A dental implant is a treatment for patients with missing teeth. It works as a root for replacement teeth. The implant body is made from titanium that “fuses” with the bone. The implant is considered a long-term replacement. The replacement teeth are connected to the implant so they are anchored in place. They are as close to natural teeth as you can get; they look, feel and perform similarly to your natural teeth.
Bone grows and bonds to the implant surface and acts like a natural tooth.
Implant supported restorations look and feel natural, there is no visible difference.
Implants transmit chewing forces to the jawbone, which helps maintain and preserve bone and facial structure. If tooth roots are missing, these forces cease, and the bone may slowly recede and cause shifting teeth and facial shape changes.
