Restore A Beautiful New Smile With Dental Implants

At Dearborn Family Smiles in Dearborn, we know missing teeth can cause significant problems in your mouth. We proudly offer dental implants to help you regain your smiling confidence.

How are dental implants placed?

Getting dental implants is a multiple-step process. First, you have an evaluation so our dentist can ensure you’re a good candidate for an implant. Advances in technology mean even patients who were previously ruled out may now be able to have this procedure. The implant will be surgically placed in your jaw. When it is healed, an abutment will be added. Once everything looks good, a dental lab will create an artificial tooth, and our dentist will secure it to the abutment.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants fill the gaps caused by missing teeth with a fully functional tooth, which helps restore the jaw and protect the nearby teeth. When teeth are missing, your jawbone loses mass, and your face may sag from lack of support. Your other teeth may start to shift into the gap, which also puts you at risk of losing them. Once the implant is in place, it is permanent and should last a lifetime. Practice good oral hygiene to keep the tooth clean and protect your gums and other teeth from bacteria. Best of all, once you have your new tooth, you can resume speaking clearly and eating all the foods you love again.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Some patients have conditions requiring treatment before we can place the implants, including gum disease, tooth decay, insufficient bone mass in the jaw, and enlarged sinuses. It is best to consult our dentist for a thorough evaluation to see if dental implants are right for you.
