Even a single missing tooth if left unattended can cause other teeth to shift, adversely affecting your bite, your digestive health, and your appearance. An implant is an incredible way to replace that lost or missing tooth.
We just love doing implant restorations! They look like teeth, feel like teeth and function like teeth. Our patients are very satisfied with the results.
Villaggio Dental works in a team approach with an oral surgeon to make your implants. The procedure takes place over the course of several appointments.
If you have lost a tooth and enjoy reasonably good health overall, you are likely a candidate for this type of restoration. In addition to a dental examination and x-rays to determine if you have adequate bone in the implant area. We will discuss any health issues and medications to evaluate whether an implant is right for you.
A dental implant is a titanium device that simulates the root of the missing tooth. The implant is placed into the jawbone by the oral surgeon. The bone grows around the implant, locking it in tight and strong. After it heals, a small post or “abutment” is attached, which protrudes through the gum tissue.
Then our doctors fit a crown onto the abutment providing a durable and natural-looking replacement for the lost tooth.
The surgical phase requires a brief recovery period; a soft diet for a few days to promote healing. Once completed, only good, regular hygiene – brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups are required.
A variety of financial options are available for implant and other procedures. Our financial department will help you coordinate those options with insurance benefits to make sure you get the dental treatment you need.
Dental implant technology has come a long way in a short period of time. Today the success rate is about 95 percent, making implants an excellent solution, meant to last a lifetime
