Sometimes you need something more than a simple filling or crown.  You may find yourself needing to replace an entire tooth. Thankfully your dentist at Marcel Dental Medical Specialists will know what to do. In addition, if you have lost a tooth to decay or injury, we will provide you with a strong, cosmetic, and reliable dental implant. Dental implants are  cosmetic option for patients with missing dentitions.

Dental implants are changing the way people live! They’re rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, and enjoy life again.

Implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth. Implants look, feel, and function like natural-looking teeth. If you’ve lost your teeth, you can regain the ability to eat anything and smile with confidence again with your new natural-looking pearly whites.

The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts. Your dentist places them into the jawbone where teeth are missing, where the bone will bond with the titanium.

In addition, dental implants help preserve facial structure and prevent bone deterioration, both of which often occurs when teeth are missing.

The restoration is long-lasting and lasts for the longevity of a patient’s life when properly cared for. Patients are advised to be on regular cleaning visits, typically every three to six months, for the best maintenance of the implant.

• Bleeding
• Infections
• Peri-implantitis (gum disease around an implant)
• Food impaction
• Nerve, sinus, and cavity injuries
• Appointments required
• Possible more dental work needed
• Potential high cost, especially for multiple teeth

You can expect a degree of discomfort and soreness after the procedures, as with any dental surgery, but this shouldn’t last for more than a few days and is usually well handled with the medication and antibiotics given. This can be abated with antibiotics and pain medication. Let your dentist know if the pain worsens in the days following the procedure.

We believe that education and prevention are the keys to maintaining good oral health. That's why we take the time to educate our patients on proper oral hygiene and provide preventive care to help you avoid dental problems before they start.
