Dental Implants Procedure in Waukesha County

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an artificial replacement that closely resembles your natural teeth, making it a popular choice for people with missing teeth. The implant acts as an artificial root anchored to your jawbone to hold a crown or denture. It offers several benefits over traditional crowns and dentures. Dental implants are designed to last upwards of 25 years.

Dental Implant Process Step by Step

Before suggesting a dental implant, one of our experienced dentists will consult with you to determine whether you’re a good candidate and refer you to one of the many specialists we partner with. The dental implant process will begin with removing the existing tooth, allowing time to heal, then placing the implant. The implant will integrate into the bone over a span of 3 months, and then we will place the crown. The implant serves as a root for the missing teeth. The materials won't decay like real teeth. 

Together, from implant to final placement of your crown or denture, we’ll provide the best treatment for your situation. Don’t let dental implant costs in Wisconsin stop you from the smile you want. 

Why Choose Dental Implants?

• If you have one or more missing teeth.
• If your jawbone is fully grown.
• If your bones are sufficient to secure implants.
• If you don't have health issues that would affect the healing process.
• If you don't want to wear or are unable to wear dentures.
• If you are willing to commit time to the process.

Types of Dental Implants

There are two main types of dental implants: 

• Endosteal implants are titanium, screw-shaped, and placed in the jawbone. These dental implants are the most commonly used type of implant.
• Subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum but not on or above the jawbone. This type of dental implant is used for patients without a healthy natural jawbone who do not want to undergo a bone augmentation procedure to rebuild it.

Our dental implant specialists will help you determine which type of dental implant is best for you.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dousman Family Dentistry works closely with oral surgeons and periodontists to create custom dental implants that look and feel like your own teeth. Dental implant benefits include:

• Comfort: A dental implant feels just like your natural tooth. You may even forget you have it! It replaces the hassle and discomfort of removable partials or dentures that can create irritation by slipping or rubbing.
• Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
• Strength: Traditional bridges and partials add extra stress by using surrounding teeth for support, unlike dental implants.
• Aesthetics: Dental implants look like your other teeth. Because the fit is so comfortable, you’ll feel more confident in your smile.

For many seniors, dental implants are the best, hassle-free alternative to dentures. Implants offer simple functionality and a natural look to patients of all ages.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Southeast Wisconsin?
