Almost anyone with one or more missing or damaged teeth may benefit from dental implants in Sterling Heights, MI. Our doctors will examine your teeth and let you know if implants are right for your situation.
Dental implants look and function like natural teeth; which also means they may be affected by sudden trauma or similar circumstances. Otherwise, it is entirely possible for implants to last a lifetime.
In some instances, dental implants may be covered to some extent by dental insurance. Every situation is different, however, so you will want to check with your insurance provider to determine what applies to your coverage for dentistry in Sterling Heights, MI.
Dental implants are fixed to the bone and not removable, so they are not an exact substitute for dentures. But if there is a need to stabilize existing dentures, it might be possible to insert implants underneath them. Whether or not this is appropriate for your situation can be discussed during your initial visit to our dentist in Sterling Heights, MI.
An initial consultation with an oral surgeon of your choice is the first step. We will be glad to refer you to a qualified doctor in your area if necessary. The initial phase of treatment begins with the oral surgeon. Your implant will be surgically placed, and our practice will fit and place the crown restoration for you. An implant generally takes several months to finish but is in most instances the healthiest, most reliable and longest lasting restoration option.
