Over the years, Dr. Nathan Bulleigh has devoted himself to staying current with the latest advances in dentistry. Dental implants are one example of the way we use state-of-the-art materials and technology to bring you the most effective dental treatment available.
If you want to maintain a healthy smile, you need to replace missing teeth. Of course, you don’t want to walk around with a big gap in your smile, but missing teeth can also lead to more complicated oral health problems.
There’s one significant difference between dental implants and other types of tooth replacements like bridges or dentures. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement that has an artificial root secured in your jaw, just like the structure of a natural tooth.
Once Dr. Bulleigh determines that an implant is the right step for you, he starts the process by placing a small titanium implant post in your jaw. The implant is left to heal for several months, and during that time it fuses securely with surrounding bone and tissue, becoming a permanent part of your jaw.
Once the implants have healed, a restoration like a crown or bridge will be added to restore chewing function and appearance. As part of the process, we spend time talking to you about dental implants and our other tooth replacement options. We want you to be confident and comfortable with your decision and delighted with the outcome.
