Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are an increasingly popular technique for replacing one or more missing teeth when sufficient jaw bone is available.
Procedure Overview
- Titanium Screw Placement
A titanium screw is inserted into the jawbone to replace the lost tooth root. - Crown Attachment
After the implant has fully integrated with the bone, a crown is attached to the screw.
The treatment typically requires two appointments spaced 4-6 months apart. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the procedure boasts a high long-term success rate.
Immediate Implant Placement
In aesthetically critical areas, extracting a tooth, placing a titanium implant, and attaching a temporary crown on the same day or the next day may be possible. This allows you to maintain a natural appearance and smile confidently during the healing period.
