Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent solution to restore missing teeth.
Procedure
There are several implant procedures being used today and they vary in duration and materials. The first appointment will involve a consultation and the creation of an individualized treatment plan.
Once an implant is decided upon, here is a basic outline of what is involved. First Dr. Sims will place a titanium post into the jaw bone. New bone cells will grow up against the post (osseointegration) which normally takes 3-4 months, At this point a special impression will be taken of the area. From this, a crown will be made which will then be secured to the post
Why Choose Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several key advantages over dentures and other tooth replacement options.
- The implants look and feel just like your natural teeth.
- They don’t become loose so you don’t have to worry when eating or speaking.
- They don’t require special maintenance; you just brush and floss like you normally would. Just be sure to see Dr.Sims regularly for checkups and cleanings.
