Restore Your Smile with Durable Dental Implants

If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a permanent solution that can enhance both your smile and your overall quality of life. At La Medix, we provide comprehensive dental implant services, utilizing the latest technology and techniques to deliver results that look and feel natural.

What Are Dental Implants? Dental implants are titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, ensuring a secure and stable fit. Unlike dentures, dental implants don’t shift or require adhesives, offering greater comfort and functionality.

The Dental Implant Procedure:

1. Consultation and Planning: A thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, will be performed to assess bone density and plan the implant placement.
2. Implant Placement: Under local anesthesia, the dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. A healing period of several months allows the implant to fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
3. Abutment Placement: Once healed, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant to hold the crown in place.
4. Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made dental crown is secured onto the abutment, completing your new smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Permanent Solution: Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, making them a cost-effective solution over time.
• Natural Appearance: Implants are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless look.
• Improved Functionality: With dental implants, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, as they function just like natural teeth.
• Bone Preservation: Implants help maintain jawbone density by preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.

Who Is a Good Candidate? Most individuals with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density can be candidates for dental implants. Our team will evaluate your unique situation and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Recovery and Aftercare: After the implant procedure, some swelling and discomfort are normal, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Following a soft-food diet and practicing good oral hygiene are essential during the healing process. Regular follow-ups will ensure that your implants are healing correctly.

At La Medix, we are dedicated to helping you regain your confidence and smile with durable, natural-looking dental implants.
