Losing a tooth (or teeth) can be a shattering experience - emotionally and professionally. Aside from the obvious problems of poor physical appearance and damaged self-esteem, missing teeth also cause subsequent dilemmas like loss of chewing ability or ineffective speech.

Dental implants have long been recognized by dental experts as the most effective dental procedure of choice for teeth replacement. Dental implants are substitutes for the roots of missing teeth and are designed to last a lifetime. Because they are fused in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed, dental implants are the closest you can get to healthy, natural teeth.

Dental implants are uniquely stable, eliminating the need for removable or partial dentures. They can also serve as an anchor for other dental prostheses like crowns, bridges and dentures.

With dental implants, you will be able to eat, speak, smile and laugh confidently. You will never have to worry about your teeth all while enjoying your everyday life.

The dental implant procedure involves the placement of a titanium fixture or rod is anchored to the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth. Over a period of about three to six months, this rod will fuse itself to the jaw, becoming a permanent part of your teeth. Once the rod has anchored and healed, Dr. Gohari will attach a custom-made crown that is color-tinted to blend in with your natural teeth.

The result is a tooth or teeth that look and feel like those surrounding them, improving chewing and speaking and enhancing the aesthetic of your smile. Dental implants can give you a perfect fit and provide a more aesthetically pleasing and more comfortable alternative to other treatments for missing teeth.
