Tooth loss is detrimental to your quality of life and overall health, making it harder to eat, speak, laugh and smile. Fortunately, advancements in dental restoration technology offer a permanent, functional solution to lost teeth. With dental implants, youll enjoy all the advantages of a full set of teeth and the confidence that comes with a complete smile.

Dental implants are prosthetic replacements for lost or damaged teeth that look and act just like the real thing. Unlike dentures, they are permanently affixed to your jawbone and dont need to be taken out for cleanings. Dental implants can provide you with a stunning, lifelong smile as long as you brush and floss twice a day and visit your dentist twice a year.

The fixture is the foundation of the restoration and is made of biocompatible titanium. The fixture is implanted in the jawbone where it fuses naturally with the bone tissue in a process called osseointegration. The abutment serves as the connector between the fixture and the restoration. Abutments allow the restoration to be attached securely to the fixture. The final part of a dental implant is the restoration, which might be a single crown or a bridge. The restoration is attached to the fixture by the abutment and serves as the replacement for lost or damaged teeth.

Well use a local anesthetic to ensure that your dental implant procedure is painless. We also offer sedation options to make the procedure more comfortable for patients with dental anxiety.Once weve ensured that youre comfortable and wont feel any pain, Dr. Grivas will make incisions in your gums to expose your jawbone. The titanium fixtures will be placed into these incisions and implanted in the jawbone. The incisions are then sealed.
