If you are missing one or more permanent teeth, our dentist may recommend dental implants to restore both the appearance and function of your smile. Dental implants are a popular choice because they are designed to become a permanent part of your mouth, providing a natural-looking and durable solution. A dental implant consists of three key components: a titanium post, an abutment, and a dental restoration, such as a crown.
Dental Implants Process
The process begins with the surgical placement of the titanium implant post into the socket of the missing tooth. Over a healing period of three to six months, the post will fuse with your jawbone, creating a strong foundation for the restoration. Once the healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the top of the implant post, and a custom restoration, such as a dental crown, is designed to match your natural smile. Using CEREC technology, we can create your dental crown on-site for a quick and precise fit. After ensuring the fit and color are perfect, the restoration is attached to the abutment, completing your new smile.
