Your Michigan dentist provides beautiful, comfortable restoration with dental implants

Missing teeth have a detrimental impact not only on the look of your smile but also on your general level of oral health. Fortunately, there are several tooth replacement options available for those who have experienced tooth loss.

Restorations that have been widely used for more than a century may be considered "tried and true," but improvements in dental technology have completely changed the potential outcome of care. In our Michigan dental practice, we have helped many patients achieve natural beauty and comfort by replacing missing teeth with dental implants.

Whether it is one tooth that needs to be replaced, a few teeth, or you have no natural teeth remaining, dental implant treatment provides you with an excellent option for restored functionality and attractiveness. With dental implants, we are actually replacing the root or roots that have been lost along with natural teeth. Implants themselves are not tooth replacements.

What implants are designed to do is support a chosen restoration. This allows for greater versatility in treatment options. Implants can be inserted to support a dental crown to replace individual missing teeth. Multiple missing teeth can be replaced with a few implants and a dental bridge, saving natural tooth structure for long term functionality. Finally, those who require total tooth replacement no longer have to rely on potentially ill-fitting dentures. With strategically placed dental implants and full dentures, complete function and comfort can be restored.

The dental implant process at Metropolitan Dental Center is completed by a world-renowned periodontist whom we are proud to call our colleague. Dr. Bhola has treated thousands of patients with dental implants, and consistently achieves excellent results through gentle care.

Patients receiving dental implants are able to discuss their smile concerns and have all of their questions answered in a private consultation with our team. The procedure itself is made comfortable through the use of local anesthetic. Many implant patients express surprise at how simple and painless treatment is. Following the insertion of dental implants, a few months are needed for healing, after which the chosen restoration can be affixed to the implant post, and normal function is fully restored.

Tooth loss no longer has to mean discomfort or embarrassment. Contact Metropolitan Dental Center to learn more about dental implants.
