Implants

When a tooth is lost, an implant is the best substitute. A dental implant mimics the

form and function of a natural tooth, which consists of a root and a crown.

What is an Implant?

A dental implant mimics the form and function of a natural tooth, which consists of a root and a crown. The crown is the visible part of your tooth. The crown is attached to the jawbone by way of the root. When decay has gone deep enough or when a periodontal disease has advanced enough to warrant an extraction, the entire tooth, root and all, is taken out. The dental implant is a titanium "root" that gets fitted into a socket that we create in your jaw bone. Once the titanium "root" heals, we place a crown on top. The new crown is customized to match your bite and the color of your teeth.

What are the benefits of getting dental implants?

Implants: Next Steps

If an implant is selected as the treatment of choice for you, we will discuss which specialist to refer you to to place the implant. This is a surgery that requires several months of healing time. We can make a prosthetic temporary to wear during the healing process. After the healing process is complete, we will take impressions and fabricate the permanent crown to attach to the implant.
