Dental Implants

Long-Term Solutions for Tooth Loss

Comfortable, Tooth Replacement

If you have missing teeth because of tooth decay, periodontal disease, or an injury, dental implants can restore your smile. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are fixed, replacement tooth roots. This means there’s no attachment to existing healthy teeth and no hassle with daily removal and cleaning.

Depending on your specific condition, Dr. Lenz or Dr. Mueller will develop a comprehensive, individual restorative treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.

First, the implant is placed in the jawbone. Then, a healing period begins while the new implant attaches to the bone, which typically lasts 6-12 weeks. Finally, using the incredibly accurate CEREC technology to scan your mouth, we create a prosthetic crown and attach it to the implant post during a single-day restoration. Follow-up care is completed at regular dental checkups. You can maintain your regular oral health routine of brushing and flossing daily.
