A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth for reasons like injury or periodontal disease. To begin the implant process, a metal post is surgically positioned into the jaw. This post will act as a permanent “root” for the implanted tooth. Once it is in place, the surrounding bone and tissue need time to heal before a replacement crown is placed.
Implant placement requires special training, as it is a surgical procedure. Our team is highly trained in implant placement to meet your dental needs.
Implants require healthy gums and adequate bone. A patient must also be committed to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, as these are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.
Please set up a consultation for this comprehensive procedure.
BackYour visit begins with an evaluation of your oral health, concerns and treatment goals. The Carlisle Family Dentistry team can explain whether implant placement is appropriate for you and review your options.
That depends on your oral health and individual needs. An examination at our Carlisle office is the best way to determine whether implant placement should be part of your treatment plan.
