Our ultimate goal is to provide long term solutions to ensure your dental health is stable, comfortable and aesthetic and maintained long into the future.
The Dental Implant Procedure
A dental implant replaces a damaged or missing tooth using a titanium post inserted through a small incision in the gum. An artificial tooth is then secured to the titanium. A single tooth, multiple teeth or even an entire smile can be replaced with dental implants.
-
Old Tooth Removal
If your problematic tooth is still attached, it is extracted. Then we insert the implant. A single implant is often inserted within 30 mins, but multiple implants maytake a few hours.
-
New Dental Implant
An implant is inserted, which takes between 3 to 6 months to fuse with your jawbone.
-
Implant Extension
We uncover the implant and attach a post extension, which acts as a foundation for your new tooth after healing has occured.
-
Dental Crown Attachment
A natural-looking crown (the "tooth" part of the implant) is attached to the implant post
