When patients are struggling with tooth loss or extraction, replacement options need to be discussed to restore the best function and health of the smile. Dr. Anu Mohan and her team often recommend dental implant services for patients seeking a long-term solution for tooth loss.

What are dental implants?

Dr. Anu Mohan describes the dental implant as a titanium metal post placed into the jawbone through oral surgery. This post is where an abutment will be attached. The abutment is used for the restoration of the appliance and can be restored with various options, including dental crowns, dental bridges, or even full or complete dentures.

Am I a proper candidate for quality dental implants and restorations?

Many patients who have a healthy smile may benefit from dental implants. To be a proper candidate, you must have sufficient jawbone structure remaining after the tooth loss or extraction. Dental implants require bone for support. Without it, patients serious about obtaining dental implants will need to talk to our team about the possibility of undergoing bone grafting to rebuild the jawbone and prepare the area for an implant in the future. Dr. Anu Mohan will evaluate the smile using dental X-rays to decide if there is enough bone for successful placement.

How long does it take to obtain dental implants?

The entire process, from beginning to end, might take several months, but the results will last a lifetime as long as patients maintain good oral health habits at home and visit the office regularly for cleanings and evaluations.
