Implants

Implants may be a better option for some patients with missing teeth, both for the natural smile they enhance and for the comfort they provide. Dental implants are actually fused to the jaw bone, so the replacement tooth is fixed and feels as secure as your natural tooth. Although the process is surgical and must take place over multiple visits to allow for healing, many patients feel it is worth it for the result.

The process involves surgically implanting a titanium screw in the jaw bone. A composite tooth, or crown, is then bonded to the implant, providing a stable new tooth that looks and feels like the original.

Dental implant candidates must have healthy gums and bones in order to support fusing of the screw to the bone. Dr. Thomas is pleased to provide this solution to patients seeking to improve their smile.

For dental implants in North Canton or surrounding Ohio areas, Thomas & Associates can help you determine if this solution is right for you.
