A dental implant is often the best replacement for a missing tooth or multiple teeth. An implant is actually made up of a post implanted into the jaw bone, an abutment that is placed on the post, and a very natural-looking ceramic crown that is placed on the abutment. Once the implant is complete, the new replacement "tooth" looks, feels and performs very much like your natural tooth. The crown for the implant is created right in our office using a state-of-the-art CEREC crown fabricating machine. There are various configurations of dental implants required for different situations when there are multiple missing teeth. Dr. Pries does an excellent job of explaining each dental procedure so that the patient understands exactly what is needed and what will be done.
