Implants

123

Implants are essential in keeping your smile original and appealing. The procedure is done in a couple of steps, well after the loss of the original tooth of course.

 The first thing to remember is an implant becomes a permanent part of your teeth as it is set in the jaw bone. The end result is a long lasting extension that eliminates the need for a bridge and is much stronger.

Your first visit would involve a mild sedative and followed by drilling out the jaw bone and inserting a stainless screw.

After a brief recuperative period generally a couple of weeks or so, you will return to your dentist so the permanent tooth can be "snapped" into place leaving you with a strong natural looking implant.
