Are you in need of a dental implant?
Dental implants are a restorative procedure that beautify your smile and reinforce the jawbone. Your dentist in Newport News, VA , Dr. Mark B. Artzer, is here to help and advise you!
What's a dental implant?
Dental implants are biocompatible posts inserted in your jawbone for people suffering from tooth loss. If you decide to get a dental implant, here's what you need to know about the process: Local anesthetic is applied to the area that will undergo the procedure; your Newport News places the titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as the new tooth root.
The doctor then surgically closes the area and allows it to heal for 3 to 6 months in a process called osseointegration. After that period, your Newport News dentist will insert an abutment, and place a crown over the abutment that matches the rest of your teeth.

How do you take care of dental implants?
Taking care of dental implants is the same as taking care of natural teeth. All you need to do is brush and floss everyday, eat healthier foods and drink water to wash away food debris.
