Dental implant procedures have transformed the landscape of restorative dentistry, providing patients with a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth. With advantages like restored functionality, enhanced aesthetics, preservation of jawbone health, longevity, and improved oral health, dental implants offer a comprehensive restoration option.
Most of the time dentistry can, unfortunately, look like obvious dentistry. At Bellagio Dental Implant Center, our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and silver fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth. When damage to a person’s teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain “pasted on gold” crowns to make their smile appear as good as new. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite.
Routine dental checkups play a vital role in your overall oral health. At Bellagio Dental Implant Center, we recommend biannual visits to ensure your teeth are thoroughly cleaned and examined. Our preventive dentistry services identify problems early, like small cavities or gum issues, preventing more serious complications later. These checkups are an essential step in protecting your smile and keeping your teeth in great shape for life.
Today’s ever-changing technology has greatly enhanced our abilities to improve one’s smile which is always beneficial to a person’s self-esteem and self-confidence. At Meng Dentistry we include PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) with our bone grafting material to regenerate cells and promote healing at no extra charge. If you want to replace a tooth or are going to lose a tooth, bone grafting will help prepare you for your implant needs.
An implant is an artificial tooth root made from metal material such as titanium that is surgically implanted into the jawbone to act as a replacement for a missing or damaged tooth.
Absolutely! Implants are considered very safe and have been used successfully for decades. Our experienced team utilizes modern tools and techniques to ensure that every surgery is safe and successful.
The timeline varies depending on individual cases – however, once the procedure has been completed it takes about 4 months for the bone to heal and 6-12 months for dental crowns to be placed on top.
The dental implant procedure typically involves multiple steps and can take several months to complete. After the implant is placed into the jawbone, a healing period of 3 to 6 months is required for the implant to fuse with the bone (a process called osseointegration). Once healed, the artificial tooth (crown) is attached, completing the procedure.
The dental implant procedure is generally not painful, as it is performed under local anesthesia to numb the area. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure and mild soreness afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Our team at Bellagio Dental Implant Center prioritizes your comfort and provides guidance for a smooth recovery process.
Whether you need a routine cleaning or veneers, we offer many services to put a bright smile on your face! We accept most insurances and PPO insurance, plus we offer in-house discount plans and complimentary services for new patients.
