MANY ADULTS HAVE EXPERIENCED PERMANENT TOOTH LOSS from common things like wear and tear, to more serious issues like trauma and disease. No matter what the cause, oral discomfort and a lack of confidence typically the results. Permanent tooth loss is something Dr. Falter and his team always do their best to prevent, but it unfortunately isn’t always possible. Good news though—today’s technology offers many simple and highly functional solutions.
Implant dentistry is not a new technology, but it has come a long way from its original origins in the 50’s. Scientists initially discovered how bones can fuse with titanium, making natural bone support possible. Today, Dr. Falter uses this important discovery to imitate the root and tooth system of your mouth.
First, implants are placed within your mouth at the gum line. They are then given 3–6 months healing time to ensure that they are completely and properly fused. Once the healing process has completed, the custom crown, dentures, or bridge can be placed. The end result is a much stronger and long lasting solution, giving you the confident smile you desire for life.
Dental implants begin with a consultation with Dr. Falter to help answer any questions you may have and allow him the chance to create a custom-tailored plan just for you.
Here is a simple illustration of how dental implants work:
