Dental Implants

Perhaps you may be considering tooth implants for a missing tooth or decaying tooth? Perhaps you have a tooth that is weak or about to fall out?   There are many reasons to replace teeth and Dental Implants provide a permanent solution for restoring dental health and smiles. 

Dental Implants are used  to replace teeth or to take the place of secure bridges or removable dentures.  Implants are the strongest, most durable, and most functionally effective restorative treatment available. Natural in appearance, implants are virtually indistinguishable from other teeth.   They feel and act like natural teeth and can function practically like natural teeth.  Some care is required when eating hard food, but overall they provide a permanent solution to tooth loss.  

The procedure for Dental Implants is as follows:

• Care assessment
• X-rays and health history exam
• Surgical procedures for:
• Implant to bond to jaw bone (temporary dentures are provided for aesthetic and health needs during healing period)
• Healing collar is installed 
• Impressions are then taken after healing of implant and collar to make new tooth
• Post for new tooth is connected to install new tooth
• Tooth is installed on new post
• Tooth assessment and satisfaction are paramount to our care follow-up
