DENTAL IMPLANTS

Getting a dental implant requires several phases. The good news is today dental implants are a minimally invasive and comfortable procedure. It’s why most people now choose to replace missing teeth with implants instead of other treatments. When you first come in, we’ll use our latest technology and training to make sure you’re a great candidate and plan your treatment.

This includes a CT scanner to plan optimal placements and a surgical guide to ensure implant posts are placed in those planned locations. Proper planning using this technology helps the entire process go smoothly. Dental implants come in all sizes and shapes, so we’ll take extra care to make sure we determine the best fit for you.

We’ll see if your jawbone is ready and make sure your mouth is healthy. We’ll also take the necessary images to plan the implantation. Dental implant placement is a simple but very precise procedure, so we make absolutely sure that everything checks out.

The next step is to create a new root for each artificial tooth. This is called an “implant” because it’s a small rod implanted in your jaw to provide maximum stability for your new tooth. It replaces your lost root.

Once your new root is healed and integrated with your jawbone, you’ll come in for the last stage: restoration. We’ll place a new crown on each implant, which will look like a natural tooth. We’ll do our absolute best to match it to the color and overall look of the rest of your unique smile. It’s as simple as that. You don’t have to visit any other office during this process. We’ll give you a schedule for your visits and will be with you through every step.
