Dental Implants

Dental Innovations offers Dental Implant services in Perrysburg, Ohio. Dental Implants are changing the way people live and offer patients the ability to smile with confidence. 

With Dental Implants, the person who has lost their teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that the teeth  are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Dental Implants also help preserve the natural facial contours, preventing the jawbone from receding after tooth loss.

What are dental implants? The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth. Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. For most patients, the placement of a dental implant involves two surgical procedures. First, they are placed within your jawbone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums gradually bonding with the jawbone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your dentist is forming new replacement teeth. After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. Dr. Ahmed or Dr. Bowman will uncover the implant and attach small posts that protrude through the gums and will act as anchors for the artificial teeth. When the artificial teeth are placed, these posts will not be seen. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life.
