What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an effective solution to missing teeth. It involves a surgical procedure to place a titanium rod into the jawbone where the missing root once was. Your dentist can place a crown or other restorative option on top of the implant as a fake tooth. New innovations have allowed for options that look and feel like an actual tooth. Your dentist can help you choose a shape and color that matches the rest of your smile. Single-tooth dental implants can help to change a patient’s smile and improve their oral health. Prior to the procedure, our dentists will carefully examine your mouth to ensure a successful treatment.

Procedure and Results

Your dental team can generally complete a dental implant procedure in about an hour. During this time, they will place the titanium implant. Once the area is healed properly, the dentist will place the crown or another restorative piece. Your dentist will go over the proper care and keeping of your new implant, but by following their directions, your implant can last for several years to come.
