How Can Dental Implants Help?
Missing teeth can disrupt your daily life, impacting your ability to eat and speak comfortably while diminishing your self-confidence due to the gaps in your smile. The absence of teeth can also lead to undesirable shifts in your remaining teeth and even cause bone loss in your jaw, altering your facial profile. Dental implants offer a comprehensive solution, preventing or resolving these issues, ultimately restoring a happy and healthy smile.
The Implant Placement Process
Local anesthesia ensures a painless procedure as a metal implant is inserted beneath the gums and into the bone. Over the course of approximately three months, the implant fuses with the bone. Following this integration period, an artificial tooth is meticulously crafted and attached to the implant.
Pain-Free Dentistry
Our commitment to pain-free dentistry sets us apart, recognizing that dental anxiety is a common concern. We offer a range of anesthetic options for a comfortable experience
- Nitrous Oxide: Induces a calming effect, reducing fear and anxiety.
- Local Anesthesia: Administered via injection, imparting a numbing effect for up to 60 minutes.
- IV Sedation: Used for longer or more complex procedures, inducing a deeper state of relaxation.
- General Anesthesia: Administered via an IV drip, resulting in unconsciousness for extensive treatments.
