The Journey to Restoring Missing Teeth With Dental Implants
The journey toward a complete smile begins with a thorough evaluation where we discuss your health history and dental needs. This step is crucial to ensure you are a good candidate for implants. We then proceed with the implantation process, which involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone. This post serves as a sturdy foundation for the new tooth. Over a few months, the implant naturally integrates with the bone, a process known as osseointegration, securing it firmly in place.
Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a custom-made crown, designed to match your natural teeth in color and shape, is attached. The result is a durable and discreet solution that enhances your smile and oral health.
