Restoring your missing teeth using dental implants is a wise investment in the maintenance of good oral health. Missing teeth can lead to a loss of bone density in your jaw which can cause a number of issues such as overcrowding, additional tooth loss, wrinkling around the lips and cheeks, and more. Thanks to dental implants, you can avoid these nuisances and enjoy the benefits of a healthy, fully functioning smile.

There are three components to dental implants: the implant fixture, the abutment, and the restoration. The implant fixture is a screw-like post that we insert into the jawbone. This biocompatible post utilizes grooved spiral ridges that help fuse the fixture to the bone. The abutment is attached to the post, allowing for a restoration—in the form of a crown, bridge, or denture—to be placed on top and stabilized. It’s the healing portion in the dental implants process that accounts for the majority of the procedure’s timeline, which—on average—can take anywhere between six to eight months. Once healed, we will place the restoration, and you can enjoy all the benefits of your good-as-new smile.
If properly cared for, dental implants can last you the rest of your life. A great benefit of dental implants is that you care for them in the same way you do your natural teeth. Brush twice a day for two minutes each time and floss once a day. Additionally, visiting us biannually for routine exams and checkups helps keep your oral health in check and allows us to monitor the state of your dental implants. Over time, your restoration can experience wear and tear. Don’t worry; we can easily replace or repair your restoration.
