Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They act as a strong foundation for replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth, making them an ideal solution for tooth loss.

• Permanent and Durable: Designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
• Natural Look and Feel: Implants are customized to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Improved Oral Health: Prevents bone loss and maintains the structure of your jaw.
• Restored Functionality: Enables you to eat, speak, and smile confidently without the discomfort associated with traditional dentures.

At Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics, our dental implant procedure is thorough and patient-focused:

1. Initial Consultation: We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.
2. Treatment Planning: Detailed imaging and examination are conducted to create a personalized plan.
3. Implant Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses over time through a process called osseointegration.
4. Healing Period: A few months may be needed for the implant to integrate fully with the bone.
5. Abutment and Crown Placement: Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, followed by a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.

Proper care is essential for the longevity of your dental implants:

• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep the surrounding area clean and prevent infection.
• Routine Check-Ups: Regular dental visits are crucial for monitoring the health of your implants and surrounding tissues.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage your implants or prosthetic teeth.
