Dental Implants
To help restore your smile and keep your jaw and oral cavity properly aligned, we offer dental implants. With an artificial titanium metal root and a dental tooth ‘cap’ on top, you can forget about any missing teeth you once had. They’re comfortable, look like natural teeth, and they’re a great alternative to dental bridges or dentures.
Implant Procedure
Dental X-Ray – We’ll take some x-rays of your jaw and determine if you’re a good candidate for a dental implant.
1st Stage of Dental Implant Installation – A dental implant is inserted into your jawbone, beneath the gum tissue. The gum tissue is then stitched back into place and you’re sent home to recover and heal (which can take several months).
2nd Stage of Dental Implant Installation – Once your gum tissue is healed, we’ll then install an abutment to the implant so it can receive and connect to the artificial root.
3rd Stage of Dental Implant Installation – We create an artificial tooth for you, then attach it to the abutment inside your jaw.
