Compassionate and Friendly Care
Living with a missing tooth can be seriously detrimental to your self-confidence. No one feels comfortable knowing they have a big gap in the middle of their teeth when they flash a smile.
In fact, a study conducted by the Academy of General Dentistry found that 86 percent of people who have had permanent tooth loss also suffer from social embarrassment.
Many of our patients with damaged or missing teeth don’t realize how easy it is to restore your smile with attractive dental implants. Whether you’re missing one or more teeth, Dr. Bauer can give you a smile that looks like new with minimal discomfort.
Our Experienced Implant Specialist
Here at Hastings Family Dental, our care is designed to optimize your comfort and safety. Placing a dental implant requires a minor surgical procedure that’s performed here in our office by Dr. Bauer.
Fortunately, Dr. Bauer has extensive training and experience in implant dentistry. He uses advanced technology to ensure the proper placement of your implants, and this helps reduce recovery time and make the experience as pain-free as possible.
Single-Tooth Restorations
For a single-tooth restoration, Dr. Bauer will complete the process in a few short steps:
- He’ll surgically attach a biocompatible titanium fixture to your jawbone, where the bone will form a secure attachment to it through a process called osseointegration.
- Once it’s fully healed, you’ll return to our office so Dr. Bauer can place your custom-made, natural-looking porcelain crown.
Multiple-Tooth Restorations
For patients who have more than one adjacent missing teeth, Dr. Bauer could elect to use an implant-supported bridge.
This is a single prosthetic that replaces more than one tooth. It’s secured in place using two or more dental implants.
