.Implants

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to help support an artificial tooth, fixed bridge or a removable or fixed denture.

Dental implants are a breakthrough in dentistry, which feel and look most like natural teeth. It is also a restoration that will not decay.


Why Is a Dental Tooth Implant my best solution?

A dental implant can be a single tooth restoration in which the adjacent teeth are left alone. It is a free standing restoration which mirrors the tooth that was replaced.

Depending on the tooth being replaced and the jawbone, an immediate functioning temporary tooth can be placed. This helps to create an excellent esthetic result, with shorter treatment time and minimized pain.

Sedation dentistry is also offered as an option for patients who may be a little anxious or would just rather sleep through a procedure.


How long does a Tooth Implant take?

Once an implant has been placed in the jaw, the bone around the implant needs to heal for twelve weeks to six months. After this period of healing, a temporary support post called a healing abutment is placed to sculpt the gum. After a short period of time, the tooth can be made to screw down to the implant. The exact sequence of the steps and the time it takes for each can be explained on a patient basis.
