The doctors of the Ferber Dental Group are experts in implants and can vastly improve your smile both aesthetically and functionally.
What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are natural-looking replacements for missing teeth that also provide the same function as your natural tooth root. A dental implant is a small, sturdy, titanium post that acts as the root structure would for a natural tooth. A dental implant is placed into your upper or lower jaw bone. After the bone has grown around the implant, implants can hold a crown, bridge or overdenture just like roots hold natural teeth in place.
Implants are very durable and can last a lifetime. They require the same maintenance as natural teeth; this includes brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups. A single tooth or a full arch of teeth that have been lost due to injury or disease can be replaced with dental implants. Titanium metal is used because of its compatibility with bone and oral tissues.
What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
The number of visits from the initial visit to completion of an implant varies according to the case, but in general this is a procedure that takes a few months. First the implant is placed and then enough time has to pass for the implant to become integrated with bone structure. Several appointments are required
in between the initial visit and completion to check the implant/bone integration. After the integration takes place, the procedure is completed with “permanent” restorations of the tooth/teeth.
What Results Can I Expect?
The results of dental implants are extraordinary. Creating a new smile will do just that: keep you smiling all the time and putting you functionally in a position to enjoy your foods.
