Preserving Your Radiant Smile with Dental Implants
Dental implants act as sturdy anchors, mimicking natural tooth roots and offering a host of benefits. Implants do more than fill a gap. They enhance appearance and speech, preserve jawbone health, offer convenience, and prioritize your overall oral well-being.
We use titanium for dental implants because it’s strong and highly compatible with the human body. As it is biocompatible, titanium doesn't elicit an immune response or rejection. Incredibly strong and durable, titanium is capable of withstanding the forces exerted during chewing and biting. This durability ensures the longevity of the implant.

The Dental Implant Process
Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, helping restore both function and appearance. They do more than just fill a gap, they support your overall oral health and confidence. We carefully evaluate your oral health, jawbone structure, and medical history. This helps us determine if dental prostheses are right for you.
-
The process begins with a comprehensive examination of your oral health. This may include X-rays or CT scans to assess bone density and structure.
-
During the first dental surgery procedure, we place the implant into your jawbone beneath the gum tissue.
-
Over the healing period, your jawbone naturally fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for your new tooth.
-
Once the implant fuses with the bone, your dentist attaches a small connector called an abutment to the implant. This serves as a base for the artificial tooth.
-
Finally, your dentist securely attaches a custom-made artificial tooth or dental crown to the abutment. The new tooth will blend in with your natural teeth in color, shape, and fit.
The time requirements of the entire process can vary based on individual healing times and specific treatment plans. Some cases might involve immediate placement of a temporary crown on the same day as the implant surgery. This depends on various factors and the dentist’s recommendation.ription
