Complete Your Smile with Dental Implants 

Looking for a fixed solution for smile restoration? Dental implants in Scottsdale, AZ may be the answer. Dental implants are surgically placed, artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jaws by a dentist. And, the benefits that can come along with this level of treatment are profound. We’re happy to offer dental implants at Waldman Dental Group.

Why Dental Implants May Be Recommended

Dental implants are the ideal option for patients who have lost a permanent tooth, have several missing teeth, or want to restore their full smile. Implants are a permanent fixture, which means they can resolve problems with bite problems when teeth are missing. Implants can also be used to support dentures or bridges to restore your full set of teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

While dental implants are often thought of as a cosmetic dentistry procedure, the treatment is actually a restorative procedure. This means installing implants bring along a host of advantages when it comes to oral health beyond just completing your smile, such as:

• Resolving joint pain due to misaligned bite
• Restoring or enhancing the shape of the face
• Restoring your ability to chew food properly
• Restoring speech capabilities

While dental implants require surgery, once the implant has healed, you have a lifelong restoration. This is also a major advantage. Caps and bridges may have to be replaced, but the implant itself remains in the jaw bone as part of your jaws.

Getting Dental implants – What to Expect

Obtaining dental implants can be a lengthy procedure with a well-worth-it outcome. You will undergo a number of visits to the office over the course of several months during the process. The initial visit will involve steps like x-rays and taking impressions of your teeth and jaws to assess bone viability, gum tissue height, and how much space is available for the implant. From here, a series of steps will be taken to install the implant, including:

1. Surgery to implant the new implant in the jaw bone
2. Allowing the implant to heal and fuse with the bone
3. Attaching the post and/or the artificial tooth
