Wales Family Dental
We know that a complete smile makeover isn’t just about aesthetics.
Patients who undergo extensive smile restorations often experience profound shifts in their confidence and overall quality of life. That’s why we specialize in permanent tooth replacements, called dental implants, that feel and function just like your natural teeth.
Permanent Tooth Replacement
The Process
Implants are innovative, long-lasting solutions for a missing tooth or teeth. They function as anchors that are surgically placed into your jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth.
Step 1
During the implant procedure, a small titanium post resembling a tiny screw is gently placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be. This post acts as a substitute for the tooth root, fusing with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a secure foundation for the replacement tooth.
Step 2
After the implant post is placed, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to integrate with the jawbone. This typically takes a few months, during which a temporary restoration is provided to help you maintain a functional smile while the post heals in place.
Step 3
Once the implant has fully integrated, a custom-made dental crown, bridge or denture is created to fit over the implant. This replacement is designed to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result that allows you to bite, chew and speak with confidence.
