Dental Implants Are a Long Lasting Tooth Replacement Option

Having a missing tooth isn't ideal for your smile. Missing teeth damage a person's self-esteem, as well as their ability to speak and eat properly. Dr. Mark Crabtree, Dr. Charles Jenkins, and Dr. David Stafford offer their patients dental implants in Martinsville, VA, to complete their smiles.

Are dental implants a long-lasting tooth replacement option?

Dental implants are life-like prosthetics that replace missing tooth roots. Missing teeth may result in jawbone recession which makes you look older. Dental implants resolve this issue and other tooth loss side effects.

Dental implant procedure

1. Your Martinsville, VA, dentist administers a local anesthetic to numb the surgical area.

2. Next, your dentist removes tooth remnants and inserts a titanium post. The post is biocompatible, meaning you don't have to worry about tissue rejection.

3. The dentist seals the surgical area and provides patients with a temporary crown. The post needs 3 to 6 months to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.

4. Finally, when you come back, your dentist places a connector or abutment on the post and attaches a permanent crown that matches the rest of your teeth.

You're able to walk out of Martinsville Smiles with a beautiful smile and a rejuvenated sense of self-confidence.
