Dental implants are a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth, offering unmatched functionality and aesthetics. Dr. Alexander Gerskowitz, Dr. Sandi Grace and Dr. Miriam Natovich provide expert implant care to meet your unique needs.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace the roots of missing teeth. Once placed in the jawbone, they fuse with the bone to create a strong, stable foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Exceptional Durability: Designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
- Improved Functionality: Restores natural chewing, speaking and smiling abilities.
- Natural Appearance: Blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth for a flawless smile.
- Bone Health Preservation: Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure.
- Convenience: Eliminates the need for adhesives or removable appliances.
What to Expect During the Implant Process
At Avant Garde Dental Arts, we provide a comprehensive and patient-focused approach to dental implant care:
- Initial Consultation: During this appointment, our dentist will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history and use digital imaging to plan your treatment.
- Precise Placement: The implants are surgically placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation for a comfortable experience.
- Healing and Integration: Over several months, the implants integrate with the bone to form a solid foundation.
- Custom Restoration: Once healed, a crown, bridge or denture is securely attached to the implants, completing your smile.
