Our skilled implant dentist and team have an in-depth understanding of the restorative procedures required to create high-quality dental implants to restore and replace your missing teeth. Depending on your needs, your implant restoration could be a single-tooth implant crown an implant-supported bridge or implant-supported denture to restore and replace your missing teeth. A dental implant is a great option for restoring your smile because the implant and dental crown are designed to look, function, and feel just like your natural teeth, and with proper care, can last a lifetime. Whether you receive a single-tooth implant or full-mouth implants, we are here to help you regain your smile.
The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in your jawbone at the site of the missing tooth by a periodontist or oral surgeon with in-depth training in safe and accurate implant placement. This post replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental crown is stable. Prior to surgery, our dentist will make a temporary tooth for the location. This “tooth” will be placed at the time of surgery, above the surface of the implant, to maintain the spacing between your teeth and shape the gum tissue around the implant site. Then a healing period is required to allow the bone to bond securely with the post. Following healing, we will place a custom-made dental implant crown and abutment on top of the implant post to restore the optimal health and function of your mouth and to help you feel confident to smile again!
