Implants Overview

If you are missing teeth, you are not alone. Did you know that 69% of adults between ages 35-44 have at least one missing tooth? Now there is hope ... dental implants.

An implant is an artificial tooth root that supports a crown to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. These long-term replacements of teeth are surgically placed in the jaw bone. They look, function, and feel like healthy, natural teeth without altering adjacent teeth.

There are several different scenarios for having a dental implant placed.

1.  If you need to have a tooth extracted first, the tooth will be removed and an implant placed at the same time or 3-6 months later depending on the health and size of the tooth and root.
   
   
2. If the tooth has been gone for some time, an x-ray will determine if the area is ready for the implant and we will schedule an appointment for the procedure.
   
   
3. If the area of the missing tooth does not have enough bone, a bone graft will be done first so the tooth has something to hold to.

The final crown is placed after a  healing time of 3-6 months.

Caring for dental implants are as easy as caring for your natural tooth by brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. Dr. Droege and your hygienist will go over all of the information with you on the care of your implant and the sequence of appointments to have your area restored.
