Should I get dental implants? As long as the jawbone is thick enough to receive a dental implant, most people can do so. You’ll need to consult with one of our doctors to decide if a dental implant is necessary for your circumstance.

What is a dental implant procedure like? First, a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone—the socket of the missing tooth. The jawbone will need to heal around the implant, which can take a few weeks. We’ll also get impressions of your teeth so that your new tooth or teeth fits and matches perfectly. An abutment is then attached to that post to keep the tooth securely in place. We’ll also get impressions of your teeth.

How long do dental implants last? With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The doctors at Affinity Dental will make sure you are well versed with care-taking techniques if we decide you could benefit from the procedure.
