Implants

A dental implant may be an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth. A dental implant is a metallic man-made root that Dr. Beauchamp surgically positions into the jaw. Once the implant is in place, and bone surrounding the implant has had time to heal, a replacement tooth is attached to the metallic root. Implants may be a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support.

Healthy, abundant bone is a prerequisite for placing a dental implant because bone is the foundation for this metallic man-made root.  Oftentimes a bone graft may be needed to create good quality bone for an implant.

The placement of an implant is a simple procedure, often done with local anesthesia or under conscious, sleep sedation for maximum patient comfort. See the video below for a comprehensive video on implants.
