Do you often find yourself covering your smile because of a missing tooth or teeth? Improve your confidence with dental implants. Dental implants restore teeth with strong and durable titanium for long-lasting permanent results. But why is it important to fill in the gap left by missing teeth?

Drs. Wooddell & Passaro offer patients optimal care and comfort during the dental implant process. First, CBCT scanning is used to determine implant placement. Factors like jaw structure and the position of existing teeth are taken into account before the implant procedure.
For the procedure, a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone and covered with a temporary crown. After 3 to 6 months, an abutment is placed for added support and the permanent crown is secured. The 3 to 6 month waiting period is to ensure that soft tissues are allowed time to heal and bone is allowed to integrate with the titanium post.
