Dental Implants

If you have a missing tooth and are looking for a stable and durable replacement, Galvan Dental Care offers dental implants as a replacement option.

An implant replaces the root of the tooth as well as the crown.

Implants bond with the jawbone and make a sturdy base for one (or more) crowns. The crowns (artificial teeth) are manufactured to match the color of the remaining natural teeth.

Although a dental implant is a term commonly used to identify the entire tooth replacement, the implant is technically just the small titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone. The screw and an abutment on top of the screw are placed during a minor surgical procedure. The abutment provides a base for the crown. A temporary crown is placed for the healing period, and the permanent crown is fixed with a stronger cement once the jawbone has healed adequately.

The type of material for the crown is chosen based on patient preference and budget.
