Dental implants are advanced dental prosthetics used to replace missing teeth with a long-lasting and natural-looking alternative.
At Innovation Dental in Wauwatosa, WI, we offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for individuals seeking to replace one or more missing teeth, providing functional and natural-looking results that enhance both oral health and quality of life.
Most often, our patients need dental implants if they are completely missing one of their natural teeth. If a tooth has been extracted or has fallen out, you will benefit from a dental implant. In the past, your two options for replacing a missing tooth were with a bridge or partial denture.
While these two options are still ideal for many people, implants only replace the missing tooth and are permanent in nature.
Dental implants are placed into the bone as part of oral surgery. Because of this, you need to be healthy enough to undergo dental surgery and have the ability to heal after the procedure has been completed. In some cases, you may need a bone grafting prior to having the implant placed if there isn’t enough adequate bone in the area.
Our doctors will perform an exam as well as series of x-rays to determine if implants are suitable for you.
