Patient Education:
Dental Implants
Implants are artificial roots that provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Implants can also be used to support and anchor dentures. Go to www.likenaturalteeth.com to learn more about implants.
Implants will work fine for most people, to find out what kind of implants will work best for you, call our office for a complimentary implant consult. Implants should not be placed in people younger than 18 years old.
Usually there is a healing period of about four months following the placement of the implant. After the four months of healing you will return to our office to have impressions for the final teeth that are cemented to the implant. During the healing time you will be without teeth in the area. We will show you the options for temporary teeth for the area.
