The number one solution to this is dental implants, which provide a long-term, highly-effective way to revitalize your smile and boost your oral health!

​

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants is a fancy way of saying artificial replacements teeth which contain artificial roots and all. The implanted tooth can come in a single piece, two piece or three piece variations. The 3 pieces of an implant is known as the root, abutment and crown respectively. 

​

The root of the implant is made up of titanium and this is what goes into your jaw bone and secures your tooth. The abutment usually comes next as the connecting piece to the crown above. Lastly, the crown tops off the implant, providing you with a functioning, lifelike tooth. The one piece implant is usually made with the crown, abutment and screw fused together while two-three piece implants have the crown and/or abutment separated. 

​

The implant procedure starts by securing the titanium root to your mouth. The root then fuses with your bone, providing a reliable, sturdy support. These implants are made with the same special surgical grade titanium used in hip, knee and other replacements. If you would like to learn more about how titanium adheres to bone and why is it so biocompatible you can click on the link at the end of the page which will lead to a national library of medicine article that goes into the specifics.

At Sherwood Dental, we are happy to offer an array of dental implants with specialty unmatched in our area. This is further enhanced by using industry-leading technology to ensure a more personalized, precise and accessible procedure. Dr. Ge has an extensive background in guided implant technology having sucessfully completed many difficult implant cases. Her expertise allows us to provide the best implant service to ensure the best results for our patients. 

​

The guided implant procedure starts with 3D scan of your mouth. This can help determine the viability of a dental implant, whether or not that is the best option for you. If successful we design the implant 

digitally to ensure a secure and tight fit, perfectly crafted for you mouth. This allows us to ensure that the implant does not fall out, removing the guesswork and guarenteeing the best results, every time. 

​

The benefit of 3D guided implants is that we can map out the structures of your mouth beforehand. This allows us to avoid sensitive areas like nerves, sinuses and plan accordingly to avoid risky procedures. 

​

3D guilded implants also greatly reduces the time needed to finish the procedures by allowing us to plan out every step of the implant procedure well before starting. These include the size of the implant, how deep it must be planted, where it needs to be placed, which implant does the patient prefer and many more!
