Implants
Implants are titanium posts or screws that are used to replace the roots of a missing tooth in preparation for replacing the missing tooth with a crown or some other prosthetic device
Implants can also provide the foundation to replace one or more missing teeth or to securely support an upper or lower denture.
The implant is placed by Dr. Eriks. Later, after bone integration and healing, the connecting abutment and crown or denture can be made for you. During this healing time, a temporary restoration will be provided to you in order to give an esthetically pleasing smile during your procedure process.
In some cases, it is necessary for Dr. Eriks to Bone Graft an implant site or for you to undergo a Sinus Augmentation. These procedures may be performed in preparation for, or during, an implant's placement.
