Dental implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. At Smile Design Dental Studio, our experienced dentist and team specializes in the restoration of dental implants. Dr. Vishaal Agrawal places the dental implant, which consists of a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as a replacement for the tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone, Dr. Franklyn Aguebor places a custom-made crown on top, completing your smile.
The process for dental implants is highly effective and involves several steps:
- Initial Consultation: We will assess your oral health and determine if you are a candidate for dental implants.
- Implant Placement: Our oral surgeon will place the titanium post into the jawbone, where it will fuse with the bone over several months.
- Restoration: Once the implant has fully healed, we will design and attach a custom crown to the implant, restoring the function and appearance of the tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several benefits, including enhanced stability, a natural appearance and the ability to prevent bone loss. They restore your ability to chew and speak properly while also maintaining the structure of your jaw and face. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a reliable investment in your oral health.
