Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist &#8211; a specialist of the gums and supporting bone.&nbsp; The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient\u2019s smile!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Dental implants are strong and durable and will last many years.&nbsp; On occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font style=\"FONT-SIZE: 16px\"><strong>Reasons for dental implants:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.\n        <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.\n        <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Restore a patient\u2019s confident smile.\n        <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.\n        <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Restore or enhance facial tissues.\n        <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\">Support a bridge or denture, making it more secure and comfortable.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>    <font style=\"FONT-SIZE: 16px\"><strong>What does getting dental implants involve?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant.&nbsp; While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself for up to six months.&nbsp;&nbsp; Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the \u201cpost\u201d that will hold the artificial tooth in place.&nbsp; With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor.&nbsp; Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete.&nbsp; After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed.&nbsp; Good oral hygiene and eating habits, alongside regular dental visits, will aid in the life of your new implant.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><em>If you have questions about dental implants or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact our office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n        <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"document.location.href='\/procedures\/prosthodontics\/'\" value=\"&lt;&lt;\" class=\"Button\" onmouseout=\"this.className='Button'\" onmouseover=\"this.className='ButtonHover'\" id=\"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_btnBack\" name=\"ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$btnBack\"><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dental Implants Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures.&nbsp;
