Change Your Life With Implants
Restore Lost Teeth With Dental Implants in Wauwatosa
Losing your teeth is no laughing matter. Not having a mouth full of functional teeth can make it hard to bite and chew your favorite foods and may make you embarrassed to show others your full smile. Thankfully, Wauwatosa dental implants from Mayfair Family Dentistry can change all that. Dr. Lakisha Arif-Holmes can use these artificial teeth roots to help you enjoy a full smile again.
Teeth Implants Will Give You Something to Smile About
An implant is a small post, usually made from titanium, that can be inserted into your jawbone where you have teeth missing. After placement, implants will fuse with your bone and form a sturdy base for several kinds of replacement teeth. With this option, you will:
- Feel confident again, knowing your smile looks great
- Make better first impressions when mingling and socializing
- Earn more respect on your job
- Improve your oral health and total body health
- Talk more plainly so you avoid embarrassment
Replace Any Number of Teeth With Implants
Depending on how many teeth you're missing, your implant options could include:
- Single Implant-Crown Combination - We'll cap an implant with a crown to replace a single missing tooth. No one will be the wiser that it's not your original tooth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge - At least two implants will be used to anchor your new bridge and fill in the gap in your smile.
- Implant-Retained Dentures - A system of snaps and balls will keep your dentures firmly in place. You won't worry about them slipping or popping out of your mouth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures - These are our most comfortable dentures. They transfer the forces of biting and chewing to your jawbone rather than your gums.
- All-on-4® Implants - We can secure a full arch of teeth using only four implants. Plus, you won't have to remove your teeth for cleaning each day.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction - Our team will develop a plan to restore all your teeth using dental implants.
Let us help you regain your smile with Wauwatosa dental implants. Our office is easy to find on West Bluemound Road, near its intersection with North 111th Street.
Common Questions About Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small metal posts made of titanium that work as replacement roots for missing teeth. An oral surgeon implants them into your jawbone, where they bond with the bone to provide a solid base for new teeth. Your options for restoring your smile include crowns, bridges, dentures, or an All-on-4® system.
Can dental implants be removed?
Dental implants can be removed if necessary, but this is not common. Once the implants are placed in your jawbone, they bond tightly and can last for decades or even a lifetime. The replacement teeth fixed to the implants typically have a lifespan of five to ten years.
How much do dental implants cost?
Dental implant costs depend mostly on how many implants you get. You might also need other procedures, like extracting a tooth or adding bone, to prepare for the implants. We will go over the costs with you during the planning phase so you know what to expect. Financing options are available to help you manage the expenses.
