dental implants

If you are missing teeth, simple everyday tasks like eating and speaking clearly become difficult and frustrating.

The team at Word of Mouth Dentistry can restore your smile and improve your quality of life with dental implant treatment.

 Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots used to support replacement teeth. We provide implants made from titanium, which are surgically placed in your jawbone. Once the implant has been placed in the jawbone, an abutment piece is attached to the implant, serving as the connection between the implant and your crown, bridge, or denture.  These pieces work together to completely replace a tooth from the roots to the chewing surface. 

 Diagnostic imaging is an important part of implant dentistry and is used to ensure safe and predictable treatments. Cone Beam CT Scan (CBCT) is  an in-office imaging technique that provides 3-dimensional images of  the jawbone, teeth, and surrounding vital structures that are important  in planning the placement of dental implants. With its low cost, relatively low radiation, and ease of use, it is now  a routine imaging technique for all dental implant treatments.  Placement of dental implants using conventional dental X-rays is no  longer an accepted practice and is highly risky.
