Implants
What it is:
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as a strong foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge. Implants look and function like natural teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
The Process:
- Consultation and Planning: An initial consultation involves assessing your oral health and creating a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone. Healing time is necessary for the implant to integrate with the bone.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: After the implant has fully integrated, an abutment is attached to the post, and a custom crown is placed on top.
- Follow-up Care: Regular check-ups will ensure the implant and surrounding tissue remain healthy and that the implant functions properly.
