When you’re missing a tooth or more or you want them replaced with something natural-looking and easy to maintain, stop by Dental Associates of Dublin and talk to Dr. Scott Bruckmair about dental implants. They are made up of three parts: a titanium fixture (artificial root), an abutment (holds a crown onto the “root”), and a porcelain crown (cemented in place to look like a tooth).
We usually need only four appointments. The first appointment is for consultation, X-ray and tooth measurement. The second appointment is for the surgical placement of the implant or "artificial root." The third appointment is for the laboratory records to make a custom porcelain crown. The last appointment is to seat the crown on the implant. The entire process will usually be completed within 6 months with little to no pain. In addition to that, we’ll usually save you thousands of dollars too!
If you have a partial or complete denture, we may be able to help you keep your denture in place better. We’ll place implants to help hold your existing denture. The dentist can go over plans with you to help better understand what the available treatment options are.
Dr. Brinson has years of experience stabilizing dentures using mini-implants and most patients experience little to no pain and are able to chew food the same day the procedure is done. You’ll never have to worry about using adhesives to hold the dentures in place.
