Modern advances in dental science now allow us to offer patients multiple options to help you enjoy a functional, secure, confident and beautiful smile — all in our office. One of the many safe, successful and affordable procedures is dental implants. It involves the installation of permanent replacement teeth supported by artificial dental root forms called dental implants. These tooth replacements look, feel and function like natural teeth. Dental implants have solved many problems associated with tooth loss that previously required replacement by removable full or partial dentures. With today’s technology the cost of dental implants can make them very affordable!

About Dental Implant Procedures
The procedure, referred to as osseo or biointegration, provides patients with the comfort and assurance of permanent teeth. Many patients find that dental implants restore their self-confidence and self-esteem and improve their quality of life.
Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.
What does getting dental implants involve?
To get implants, you will need to visit the dentist several times over a few months. First, the dentist will take X-rays and impressions of your jaw and teeth to see if there is enough bone, gum tissue, and space available for the implant. While you’re numb, the dentist will surgically place the implant into the bone and give it time to heal and attach itself to the bone, which can take up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be needed to put the post in place to hold the artificial tooth.
After a few weeks of healing, the artificial teeth will be made and fitted onto the post portion of the anchor. This step may take one to two months to complete since several fittings may be required. Once the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, they will provide excellent stability and comfort to the patient.
When your treatment is completed, the dentist will give you instructions on how to take care of your new implant, including good oral hygiene, healthy eating habits, and regular dental visits.
