At Emerald Dental Care, we understand how missing teeth can affect your confidence and daily life. Dental implants offer a permanent solution, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. These implants act as stable foundations for crowns or bridges, offering a natural-looking and long-lasting solution.
The Implant Process
Our dental implant process is designed for precision and comfort. The first step is a thorough evaluation of your oral health. Special 3D X-rays are taken to assess the quality of the bone for implant placement.
If suitable, the procedure takes two appointments:
- First Appointment: The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone.
- Second Appointment (3-6 months later): Once the implant has fused with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom crown is placed on the implant.
During the healing period, temporary dentures may be provided to ensure no disruption to your daily activities.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Durable & Long-Lasting: Implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural Look & Feel: They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
- Improved Functionality: Implants restore your ability to speak and eat confidently.
- Bone Health Preservation: They prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure
- Stability: Unlike dentures, implants are securely fixed in place.
