Dental Implants

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Pursuing professional treatment for missing teeth is essential for the overall health and appearance of your smile. At Cedar House Family Dentistry, Dr. Anita Jhangiani is pleased to provide high-quality dental implant restorations to help patients effectively replace extracted or lost teeth. A dental implant consists of a durable screw that serves as a substitute tooth root, paired with a custom crown, bridge, or full arch to restore the visible part of the lost tooth or teeth. If you have missing teeth or need a tooth extraction, schedule an appointment with us to learn more about your dental implant options.

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT PROCESS?

You may be an excellent candidate for dental implants at Cedar House Family Dentistry if you are dealing with missing teeth, require extractions, or are experiencing issues with your current replacements. The surgical process for dental implants involves the precise placement of a screw, followed by securing a natural-looking, customized replacement, such as crowns, bridges, or partial dentures. Once the treatment area is prepared, it is numbed with local anesthesia. The titanium post is then carefully placed in the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration. After the surgical site has completely healed—typically over several months—your dentist will fit a custom implant crown, denture, or full-arch piece and check the alignment of your jaw.

REASONS FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS:

• Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.
• Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
• Restore a patient’s confident smile.
• Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
• Restore or enhance facial tissues.
• Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable.
