What Happens During a Dental Implants Procedure?

First, a detailed evaluation and treatment plan is prescribed by Dr. Clark.
Next your implant(s) will be placed gently below your gum line in a single visit.
The implants will need time to heal and fuse with your jaw bone (usually for 3 to 6 months). During this time, you will need to wear a modified or temporary denture or dental bridge
After your implant has fully healed, a small metal post (abutment) will be attached. This segment will be used to secure your denture or dental crown to the implant.
Finally, your new replacement teeth can be crafted and fitted. Total treatment time for most dental implants is typically between 5 and 8 months.

What Are The Advantages of Dental Implants Placement?

Dental implants are versatile. They can be used to replace an entire lower or upper denture, a partial denture, fixed bridgework, or a single missing tooth. Dental implants anchor your tooth replacement, eliminating embarrassing and uncomfortable slippage and shifting. They actually replace your missing tooth’s root, so they preserve your remaining jawbone density, to prevent premature aging. They can be cared for just as if they were your natural teeth, they never decay, and they can last a lifetime with proper oral maintenance. Implants can enhance overall oral functioning and fully restore the feeling of natural teeth.

Superior Dental Implants Appointments

If a patient is well enough to undergo fixed bridgework or routine oral surgery, they should be eligible to undergo a dental implants procedure. However, the density and location of available bone is usually the major determinant of a good implant candidate. Make your dental implants appointment with Dr. Clark today. Hill Avenue Dental performs expert dental implants procedures daily for patients throughout Superior, WI, Duluth, Douglas County, Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, and nearby areas.

Sometimes, it’s hard to make time for the dental care you need. Dr. Clark understands this. That’s why Hill Avenue Dental now offers complete tooth restorations in just one short office visit using CEREC CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) equipment. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is an innovative dental technology that enables Dr. Clark to design, fabricate, and fit a new custom dental crown or veneer faster than ever before. This procedure would normally take at least two office visits over several weeks to complete. With CEREC one visit crowns from Hill Avenue Dental, you can fully restore a damaged tooth; and be in and out and on with your day. Schedule your CEREC one visit crowns appointment with Dr. Clark today. Hill Avenue Dental proudly restores smile daily throughout Superior, WI, Duluth, Douglas County, and the surrounding Northern Wisconsin and Northeastern Minnesota communities.

How Are CEREC One Visit Crowns Made?

First, Dr. Clark will prepare your tooth for fitting. But instead of using a messy dental putty mold, he will take a digital impression of your tooth. This imaging is then converted into a 3D computerized model, which is used to guide the design of your new restoration. This information is sent to an in-house milling machine, which then fabricates your new tooth out of a high-quality ceramic block. The milling process can take under an hour. Once your new crown is milled, Dr. Clark may stain it to match your surrounding teeth, and polish and glaze it, before cementing it into place over your prepared tooth.

Why Choose CEREC One Visit Crowns?

With CEREC one visit crowns, you will only need to take one day away from work to have the procedure completed; instead of several days for several visits. Having fewer appointments can also reduce the expense of your procedure.
Because the entire procedure can be carried out within an hour, you will only need one set of anesthetic injections.
Because CEREC crowns are designed and fabricated in house, you have more control over the outcome of your treatment.
You won’t have to wear a temporary crown while waiting for your new restoration.
