Missing a tooth affects more than appearance. Chewing shifts to the opposite teeth, surrounding molars lean toward the opening, and the bone that once surrounded the natural root begins to recede.
Our practice sits located on South Eola Road in southeast Aurora and welcomes families from Oswego and the surrounding communities.
<strong>The Reason Dental Implants Are Different From Bridges</strong>

A bridge relies on grinding down neighboring teeth to anchor it. One traditional appliance sits on top of the gum and offers little for the underlying bone underneath.
A dental implant takes the place of the natural root specifically. Since it integrates with the bone, it continues to engage that bone the way a healthy tooth root did.

Those who have used a removable denture for some time frequently mention the identical frustrations: shifting as they are chewing, pastes that rarely fully solve it, and favorite foods they have set off.
Implant retained prosthetics secure to a small number of fixtures placed in the jaw. Some designs are still patient removable for hygiene; some are permanent in position.
<strong>The Way Care Generally Proceeds</strong>
Planning starts with a scan to evaluate bone and locate anatomy ahead of any surgery is performed. Where bone is limited, bone grafting or a sinus treatment may be suggested first.
Surgery itself runs far less appointment time than a lot of people imagine. The integration period comes next during several weeks and months as the post bonds with the bone, and the permanent restoration is attached after integration.
<strong>Common Questions Around Investment</strong>
Implant investment varies considerably based on how many sites are treated and whether preparatory work is required. A exam with proper imaging is the only method to give a meaningful estimate, and we are upfront about the numbers ahead of treatment begins.
