Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a foundation for the placement of replacement teeth. At Blue Sage Dental, we use dental implants made from titanium to provide support to teeth replacements that look and function like your natural teeth.
Our dentist will place the implant into your jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Then, they’ll allow it to heal for several months while it fuses with your bone and becomes secure. Once the healing process is complete, you’ll return to our dental office to have the abutment attached. Finally, the permanent crown will be placed on the implant to replace the missing tooth.
You’ll need to practice good oral hygiene to ensure the longevity of your new smile. Brushing the teeth, flossing, using mouth rinses, and regular visits to our dentist are all essential to maintaining your dental implant's health.
