NATURAL-LOOKING TEETH
Implant restorations are a fantastic way to replace missing teeth with strong, lasting solutions that feel and function like your own. Whether it’s a single tooth replacement, an implant bridge for multiple teeth, or a full arch hybrid denture for a complete smile, Dr. Leftwich and Dr. Hornberger are here to help. For a single tooth, an implant acts as a new root to hold a replacement, while a bridge connects several teeth, and a full arch hybrid denture provides a full set supported by implants. We’ll take records like an impression or scan and have you return for delivery, working closely with a trusted surgeon who places the implants, so you can enjoy a confident, natural smile again.
THE PROCESS
Surgery is necessary to prepare the area for an implant and place the implant in the mouth. Following the procedure, a period of time is required for the implant to take hold and for bone tissue to build up and anchor the device prior to connecting the tooth.
Because implants require surgery, patients are administered anesthesia and, if necessary, antibiotics to stave off infection following the procedure.
Ideal candidates for dental implants must have proper bone density as well as a strong immune system. During your consultation, Dr. Leftwich and Dr. Hornberger will conduct an assessment to ensure you’re an ideal candidate for the procedure.
Like any restoration, implants require diligent oral hygiene and proper care to ensure long-term benefits.
