Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth. A small titanium screw is placed into the jaw bone to act as a new ‘root’ for the replacement tooth. This creates a stable foundation for the abutment and dental crown which will close the gap left behind by a lost tooth. Dental implants are regarded as one of the leading options to replace missing teeth with exceptional results.

• A full, healthy set of teeth leads to carefree smiles, laughter, and conversations.
• A broader selection of food options is available with better overall dental health.
• Many years of reliable performance can be expected from a tremendous confidence boost.

Almost everyone is a candidate for dental implants.  Every individual patient’s needs vary and require different work to prepare their mouth to receive the dental implant. For a full assessment, and advice on what to expect as you are going through the process of implant surgery, schedule a consultation with our implant specialist.

If you have existing alternative tooth replacement options, such as dentures or a bridge, it is still possible to upgrade to implants and enjoy all of the benefits that come with them. If you are considering implant surgery, schedule an appointment today to find out what the implications are for you, and how long the process may take to complete.

Missing teeth can negatively impact the overall quality of life but thankfully there are replacement solutions available. At Buchanan Dental Arts we can use All-on-4 Dental Implants to replace an entire arch of teeth. Patients can receive implants and a new set of teeth all in the same appointment!

In many circumstances, Implant Dental Bridges & Crowns can transform a person’s smile, and ability to chew and speak with confidence.  Lives are turned around when their appearance is vastly upgraded, and their fear of the dentist is eradicated, as the prospect of needing dental treatment is gone.

While traditional dentures are completely removable, fitted dentures provide an added sense of stability and security. Some fitted dentures are snap-on, whereby the patient has screws embedded in the jawbone that the dentures click onto, holding them firmly in place. Fitted dentures are also attached to screws in the gum, but are fully fixed and not removed for cleaning.
