Dental implants are a wonderful solution for long term replacement of missing teeth, and can also be used to stablize dentures. The implant acts as the tooth's root, after healing an abutment and crown
are attached to replace the tooth.
Missing teeth affect your ability to chew, talk, and smile with confidece. Implants are not only asthetically pleasing but very functional. In most cases Dr. Swan is able to place implants and bone grafting material in office then after healing is complete a restoration appointment will be made to place the abutment and crown on the implant. However, in some cases it is nessesary to be referred to an oral surgeon for placement.
