A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.

Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth, usually made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or periodontist. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient's smile.

Dental implants are strong and durable and will last many years. On occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.

What Does Getting Dental Implants Involve?

The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.

Initial Planning
X-rays and impressions are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant.

Surgical Placement
While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the post that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants, the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.

Creating Your New Teeth
After several weeks of healing, the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort.

Caring for Your Implants

You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene and eating habits, alongside regular dental visits, will aid in the life of your new implant.
