Are you looking for a permanent solution to missing teeth? If so, we want to share some good news with you: We offer dental implants.
A missing tooth doesn't just leave a hole in your smile -it may also affect how you speak and chew. And if a missing tooth isn't replaced, the teeth around it begin to move. Shifting teeth create new crevices for dental plaque to hide in, which can lead to tooth decay and the need for a tooth filling or gum disease treatment down the road.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant procedure is usually a three-step process. During the first step of dental treatment, the implant - or artificial root - is placed. The implant takes time to secure to the bone which is called osseointegration. This usually takes around 4-6 months.
The dental implant is uncovered during the second phase of treatment and a special post, called an abutment, is added. This serves as an extension and together with the dental implant serves as the foundation for your new tooth. Impressions are taken and Dr. Zeboski places a dental crown on top. Since it is fixed to a post, your new tooth is extremely secure and will function just like any other tooth.
Please give our office a call today to discuss dental implants!
