using dental implants to restore or rebuild your smile. Dental implants are the ideal replacement for a missing tooth root because the titanium post of the implant is fused to the jawbone. This prevents jawbone loss and creates a solid foundation for a crown that serves as your natural tooth.
To prepare for the procedure, we may use the CBCT device to obtain accurate digital images of the jaw and to plan the ideal implant position. We may need to perform tooth extractions to remove damaged teeth or perform a bone grafting procedure to create a stable foundation for the implants.
Dr. Young has completed advanced training in implant dentistry at the Misch International Implant Institute and has also completed the University of Augusta Maxi Implant Course during his career. His expertise has helped many patients with missing teeth restore their smile and enjoy natural-looking results.
