Implants

Dental implants are a long-term option for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. At Ararat Family Dental, we can assess your mouth, explain your options and help you determine whether a dental implant may be suitable for you.

A dental implant is designed to replace the root of a missing tooth. The process involves placing a biocompatible titanium post into the jawbone beneath the gum. Over time, the implant can bond with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration. Once the area has healed and the implant is stable, a custom-made crown can be attached to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth.

Dental implant treatment usually takes several months from start to finish, as the jawbone and gum tissue need time to heal properly. For suitable patients, implants can provide a secure and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
