Dental Implants

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth for good. Unlike bridges, they don’t mess with your other teeth. 

Here’s how it works: 

• A screw is placed in your jawbone. 
• Allow 3-6 months for it to heal. 
• During healing, you get temporary crowns so you can eat and talk normally. 
• Once healed, they put a base (abutment) on the screw. 
• Take an impression of the new tooth. 
• Make the permanent tooth in a lab. 
• Attach the new tooth. Your smile looks normal, and the implant feels just like your other teeth after a bit.
