Dental Implants

Dental implants are becoming increasingly popular and one of the most trusted tooth-replacement methods available in modern dental care. By replacing missing teeth you can restore your smile to optimal health, function, and appearance. With dental implants, there’s no need to cut down nearby teeth or to wear bulky, removable prosthetics. For this procedure, titanium supports are surgically fused with your jawbone, and act as an anchor for naturally looking false teeth. 

 

We work with implant surgeons for the placement of our patient’s implants. A period of healing is then often required to allow the bone to begin to bond with the biocompatible implant. Within a few months, full bone integration has usually occurred. Following this healing period, Drs. Comeaux and Tuite, will place the dental implant restoration. Depending on which teeth are missing and your dental needs, your implant restoration might be a dental crown, dental bridge, complete denture, or partial denture. Each dental implant restoration is custom made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically.  An implant will look like a natural tooth, and you care for it as if it were a real tooth. 

 

If you have struggled with wearing uncomfortable, removable prosthetics like partials or dentures, then dental implants will give you the chance to have a fixed, stable treatment option.
