Healthy teeth are a gift we often take for granted. Losing one or more teeth impacts our smile, our confidence, and our enjoyment of our favorite foods. Tooth implants are technology's way of taking us a step closer to a tooth replacement that feels secure and looks just like our own.

A dental implant is a titanium metal replacement for a root of a tooth that is surgically implanted in the jawbone. When the implant is inserted into the jaw, a bond is formed and the jawbone actually grows into the implant. As the body heals after the surgery, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant through a process called osseointegration. The length of the healing time is based on the quality and quantity of bone, as well as the type of implant placed. After the healing phase is complete, the implants are used to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures.

We begin with a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical and dental history, and a full clinical examination of the entire mouth and missing tooth area. The clinical exam should also include specific X-rays.

If dentures don't work for you, you may want to consider dental implants. Unlike dentures, which can be removed, Dr. Champagne can make dental implants that are permanently anchored into the jaw itself.

It is important to know that implant treatment consists of two components: a surgical phase and a restorative phase.

The dental team of Dr Champagne, a cosmetic restorative dentist, and Dr Bichara, a periodontal surgeon, has the in-depth knowledge and prior experience with all aspects of the treatment. Together, they can provide the ideal combination of expertise to achieve the best result.
