Dental implants have a success rate of up to 98% and can last a lifetime with proper care.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Emily Wojtowicz will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. This may involve taking X-rays or performing other diagnostic tests to assess the condition of your jawbone and surrounding teeth.
If you are deemed a good candidate for dental implants, the next step is the surgical placement of the implant into your jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The implant is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the surrounding bone over a period of several months.
Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, Dr. Emily Wojtowicz will attach an abutment to the implant. This abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth or bridge. Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the abutment, completing the dental implant restoration.
Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth. They can help restore your smile, boost your self-confidence, and improve your overall appearance.
Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, allowing for improved chewing and speaking abilities. With dental implants, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about discomfort or slippage.
Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective option in the long run. Additionally, dental implants help preserve the integrity of the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
Dental implants have been used for over 30 years and have a success rate of up to 98%.
