Dental Implants

Dental implants have quickly emerged as one of the best ways to replace damaged, decayed and lost teeth.  Instead of moving forward with a gap in your mouth or relying on partial dentures, contact our Miami dentist at (305) 270-5505 to learn more about the merits of dental implants.  The addition of dental implants to your mouth begins with the insertion of a titanium rod into your jaw bone. 

The resulting process of osseointegration that fuses the titanium rod or screws to your jaw bone will take a couple months or less to complete.  It is at this point that the dentist will add the dental implant in the from of an abutment.  The implant is topped off with a dental crown that ensures you can chew through food with ease.  The dental implant also serves the purpose of guaranteeing your dental implants look like regular teeth.

There is no reason to fear the dental implant process.  The initial phase involves the surgical placement of the implant yet the incision won’t cause pain as you’ll be provided with local anesthesia to numb the area.  You might even be provided with IV sedation so you don’t feel discomfort or pain during the procedure.
