Dental implants are the closest that you can get to having a natural tooth in your mouth. They allow us to keep a single or two-tooth problem limited to those teeth instead of involving healthy teeth around them. They also feel natural, function naturally. You really cannot tell the difference between an implant and your natural tooth once the process is complete.
Renew Your Smile & Rebuild Your Bite
Titanium dental implants are one of the greatest inventions of modern dentistry. Decades ago, it was discovered that titanium actually fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. That’s why modern implants are usually made from this metal. They act as artificial teeth roots and can support several types of replacement teeth. Just like natural tooth roots, they help keep your jaw strong and healthy.
We’re proud to offer implants for our patients who are suffering from missing teeth. Dr. Jones and Dr. McGary both place and restore implants, so you can get your entire implant treatment completed in one convenient location. Not all dental practices offer you that benefit. Some dentists will send you to an outside office for implant placement.
Below are some implant options that you may be a good candidate for, depending on your unique circumstances:
- Single Implant and Crown – We’ll use images from our 3-D CT scanner to place an implant in your jawbone. After a healing period, we’ll attach a crown to it that was made right in our office.
- Implant-Supported Bridge – Your new bridge will anchor to two or more dental implants and fill in the gap in your smile.
- Implant-Secured Dentures – Enjoy stable, comfortable dentures when we attach them to a set of dental implants. You can forget about hassles like adhesive, special cleaning solutions, and relining procedures.
- All-on-4® Implants – We’ll use precise surgical guides to place four implants per arch that will anchor a full row of new teeth. This is typically the quickest and most affordable way to replace a full arch of teeth with implants.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – Get all your teeth back with a comprehensive treatment plan to restore your smile and bite.
Relax in the Expert Care of Our Implant Dentists
Not only does our office feature private patient care rooms for discretion, we’ll also give you a cozy blanket so you’ll feel at home while you listen to relaxing music. Plus, you’ll have a choice of sedation options to help alleviate any dental anxiety:
- Inhaled Sedation – Breathe in mild laughing gas and in moments you’ll start to relax from head to toe. The effects vanish just as quickly once the gas is removed, so there is no lingering grogginess with this type of sedation.
- Oral Conscious Sedation – Take a small, FDA-approved pill before your treatment to eliminate all traces of fear or anxious nerves. You may not even remember much about your procedure afterward.
