Our Implant Solutions
Tooth loss has become a major oral health issue for millions of Americans. In fact, nearly 120 million people in the United States are missing at least one tooth and that number is growing by the thousands every year.
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution that restores the gaps in your smile while protecting you against bone loss, facial distortion, and oral infections such as tooth decay and gum disease. The dental implants you get from Dr. Bauer blend naturally with your smile and work in unison with your natural teeth to make eating enjoyable again.
What are Dental Implants?
At Bauer & Howard Dental Care, we feature attractive dental implants, a leading restorative treatment for filling the gaps in your smile caused by missing teeth. For patients with one or more missing teeth, we use this restorative treatment to rejuvenate your smile.
A dental implant is a titanium fixture that is used to support a natural-looking porcelain crown which looks and function like your natural teeth. Titanium bonds naturally with your jawbone, creating the perfect foundation for your dental implant. That’s why your dental implants won’t shift around or come out while you’re eating the way dentures can.
What is the Dental Implant Process?
During your free consultation, we’ll provide you with a full examination. That way, Dr. Bauer can review your treatment options and recommend the restoration that’s right for you. Then we’ll schedule an appointment so our implant dentist can place your fixture.
Titanium is a unique material that fuses together with your jawbone to create a strong foundation for your new prosthetic tooth. This process is called osseointegration and it has provided life-changing benefits for the millions of people who’ve already received dental implants.
As soon as your body is acclimated to the implant fixture, you’ll return to our office so Dr. Bauer can place your porcelain crown. It’s custom-made to match the rest of your smile. Now you’ll be ready to start living life to the fullest again.
