Dental Implant Services we Provide

Dental implants are a surgical procedure that replaces missing teeth by integrating a titanium post (the implant) into the jawbone, which then acts as a root for a replacement tooth (crown, bridge, or denture). Implants offer a long-lasting, functional, and esthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth.

Here's a more detailed look at dental implants:

• Dental implants are small, biocompatible posts, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone.
• They act as a replacement for the natural tooth root.
• Once the implant integrates with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration), it provides a stable base for a replacement tooth.

Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.

Dental Implants require good oral health and adequate bone structure for the implant to fuse in the bone tissue. Dr. Athans will examine your medical history and your oral health to determine if you are a candidate for Dental Implants. Once the Dental Implant has fused in the bone then Dr. Athans can place your custom crown, bridge, or even denture. One Implant can be placed for one tooth, or a few Implants can placed to anchor a bridge, a partial denture, or even a full denture. An Implant supported denture can be an option for you. Studies show that a Dental Implant "acts" like a root of any tooth. This prevents bone loss that otherwise would be lost. A Dental Implant in the jaw bone stabilizes the bone and makes it stronger.
