DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental Implants Procedure and Treatment

Surgical placement of an implant fixture or post is the first step in replacing missing teeth with dental implants. A dental implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone and covered by the gum or by a special 'healing cap'. This procedure takes less than 1 hour and can be done with local anesthetic only. Dental implants permanently integrate with your jawbone and do not need to be replaced or removed.

Implant Treatment Cost

The cost of implant treatment is based on a number of factors, such as the number and type of implant fixtures placed by a surgical specialist, the type of implant-supported restorations (crowns, bridges or prosthetic appliances) recommended by a restorative specialist and whether additional procedures, such as tooth extractions, bone augmentation and gum grafting are necessary to achieve proper esthetic and functional result. The only way to accurately estimate the cost of your dental implant treatment is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kramer.
