Most patients are good candidates for dental implants and can safely have the procedure done in our office. We will examine your mouth and take x-rays to help in identifying whether or not the implant can be placed. There needs to be enough solid, healthy bone in the area where the implant will be placed. If you have bone loss, bone grafting may be needed to build up the area.

The procedure begins with sedation or anesthetic of your choice. We then make a small incision through the gums and drill a tunnel-like hole through the actual jawbone. The titanium implant’s post is placed and you’ll be given instructions on how to care for it over the next few months. You’ll come in several times so that we can check to ensure the implant is healing properly. Once the implant fuses with the jawbone, we can make a restoration that will sit over top of it. If you would like to come into our office for a consultation regarding implants, call us today to speak with one of our trained and knowledgeable professionals.
