Restore Your Smile at Wave Dental Specialists

Tooth loss effects millions of adults and can occur at any time due to tooth decay, injury or periodontal disease. However, the loss of one or more teeth does not have to keep you from smiling. Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. They are surgically implanted in your jawbone to provide a stable foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable artificial teeth.

Step 1: Planning

The first step is talking to your dentist. Our experts will coordinate with your dentist to design an individualized treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals. Depending on your condition, you may require single tooth implants (which can attach a dental crown or bridge) or All-on-4 implants to anchor an implant-retained denture.

Step 2: Surgery

Once your treatment plan is finalized, your surgery will be scheduled. This is a simple procedure, wherein one or more small titanium posts are inserted under the gum line and placed into the socket of your missing teeth. As your jawbone heals, the titanium will fuse with the implant post and bond with it. The healing process can take 6-12 weeks.

Step 3: Placement

Once the implant post has successfully bonded with your jawbone, a small connector piece (known as an abutment) is attached. This abutment is used to anchor your replaced tooth or implant-retained denture. When your replacement teeth are placed, you can resume the natural function of your bite and enjoy a fully restored smile.

Implants

Patients who are in good overall health and have enough healthy gum tissue and jawbone are ideal candidates for dental implants. You must have enough bone to hold the implant in place, otherwise the surgery will not be successful. Only a trained dental team can determine if you are a candidate for oral surgery, so be sure to book a consultation to discuss your options.

Dental implants require the same care as your natural teeth. This includes brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups and cleanings. With good at-home care and oral hygiene, an implant can keep you smiling for 20 years or more.

Getting an implant includes 1-2 surgical procedures, depending if you need to have a tooth removed prior to receiving an implant. The oral surgery component is quite comfortable, as you will receive local anesthesia and sedation as needed. It is natural to experience some pain, swelling, and bleeding following your surgery, as with any surgical procedure. However, our team will provide you with post-operative care instructions and prescribed pain relievers as needed to minimize discomfort.

Yes, we do. For the comfort of our patients, we offer laughing gas as well as local anesthesia.

It depends on your insurance carrier. Some plans do cover a portion of your dental implant treatment costs. Our team will verify your insurance and help you maximize all owed benefits whenever we can. Out-of-pocket costs can be paid over time with our dental financing options.

The full cost of your implant procedure will depend on your overall treatment needs, such as the extent of restoration required to complete your smile. Our team will provide you with a complete breakdown of all costs and payment options during your consultation.

Dental implants are made out of biocompatible titanium. This means that the material used in the implant post bonds with the surrounding jawbone.
