One solution to missing teeth is an implant; a permanent false tooth with a metal post surgically inserted into the gum. Implants can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth.
Over time, the implant fuses with the natural bone and can restore function like that of a natural tooth as well as look and feel natural.
What Happens at an Appointment
At a consultation, a dentist will assess your overall health and determine if you have the amount of jawbone needed for an implant. Sedation options can also be discussed if anxiety is an issue as well as payment plans.
At your surgical appointment, a local anesthetic will be administered. The implant is inserted with the guidance of a 3D scan. The procedure is easy and you should experience little to no discomfort.
