At Tyler B. Schaffeld, D.M.D., we’re proud to offer a versatile and effective restorative service known as dental implants. With dental implants, you can enjoy far greater stability than is possible with a more traditional prosthetics like partial or full dentures. That’s due in large part to the unique dental implant structure. Instead of just replacing missing teeth, dental implants are anchored in place by a small titanium post that acts as a prosthetic tooth root. With your procedure completed, you can expect results that are almost as lifelike and natural as your old smile.
A complete dental implant procedure is composed of two phases. The first phase involves the surgical placement of one or more implant posts. The number of implants you receive depends on the number of teeth we’re replacing. The second phase of treatment involves attaching your new crown, partial, or full denture to your implant(s). You’ll visit a trusted oral surgeon for the first phase of treatment, and then, after a healing period, you’ll return to our Enterprise dental office to have your restoration attached.
To be considered a candidate for dental implants, you must have a strong enough jawbone to support one or more implant posts. If you’d like to know if dental implants are right for you, Dr. Schaffeld would be happy to consult with you. During your consultation, our team completes a full oral exam to ascertain your needs. If dental implants are right for you, we’ll be happy to explain the full treatment process. If dental implants aren’t right for you, we can recommend alternative solutions to achieve great results.
Call Tyler B. Schaffeld, D.M.D. today you’re ready to schedule your consultation visit. We’re delighted to offer restorative care with dental implants to patients from Enterprise, Joseph, and beyond.
