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.

If you’re feeling anxious about implant surgery, Dr. Bauer features oral conscious sedation. It allows you to remain conscious throughout the procedure, but your anxiety will be relieved.

Single-Tooth Restorations

For a single-tooth restoration, Dr. Bauer will complete the process in a few short steps:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the dental implant procedure work?
How do I know which dental implant solution is right for me?
How does the dental implant procedure work?

Dental implants are placed directly into the jawbone, replacing the roots of the teeth that are missing. The implant is made out of titanium, allowing it to fuse naturally with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.

The artificial root then allows Dr. Bauer to secure your choice of restoration so they feel comfortable and blend in with your surrounding teeth. Since there are several types of dental implants available to you, each surgery will be performed differently in accordance with the specific treatment plan that you chose.

How do I know which dental implant solution is right for me?

The best dental implant solution for your smile depends on the specifics of your case. Our dentists will consider several factors as they develop a personalized treatment plan for you, including how many teeth you’re replacing, the density of your jawbone, and the health of your gums.
