Restore Your Smile with Permanent Dental Implants
Missing teeth can prevent you from properly chewing, hamper speech, and even compromise your oral health. At Lookout Valley Dental, we provide dental implants in Chattanooga to give you back your smile and your ability to eat, speak and bite naturally.
Dr. Tyler Lunsford and his staff are well versed in the latest implant technology to give you the smile you desire with the highest precision, comfort and success rate.
Whether you’ve lost one tooth or require an entire arch of teeth replaced, dental implants are a secure, effective and natural looking solution.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are installed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Overtime the implant integrates with the jaw bone to give a solid base for a custom crown, bridge or denture.
Components of a Dental Implant:
Implant Post: A titanium screw, injected with biomaterial compatible with the body to be implanted in the jawbone.
Abutment: It is a component that acts as a reference piece between the implant and the artificial tooth.
Crown, Bridge, or Denture: A handcrafted replacement of the affected tooth or teeth that is made to look and function like the natural teeth.
Dental implants are the ultimate in replacement teeth, lasting and working like your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Long Term & Durable Solution
If looked after, dental implants are long lasting and not needed to be replaced as often as dentures or bridges.
Improved Chewing and Speaking
Dental implants act like real teeth and let you chew all the foods you love and speak without hesitation.
Reduce Bone Loss and Facial Sagging
When a tooth is lost, the bone that surrounds it starts to shrink. Implants mimic the function of natural teeth and preserve the jawbone and facial appearance.
The Best Alternative: It Feels and Looks Just Like Your Natural Teeth
Each implant restoration is designed to emulate the color, shape and size of your existing teeth for a convincing look.
Dental Implant Process at Lookout Valley Dental
Step 1: Consultation & Digital Scan
Dr. Lunsford performs a comprehensive evaluation of your jawbone and creates a customized treatment plan by using digital X-rays and 3D imaging.
Step 2: Implant Placement
A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone, while ensuring maximum comfort through local anesthesia.
Step 3: Healing
The implant fuses with the bone for a stable foundation for the restoration over the next 3-6 months..
Step 4: Abutment Placement & Crown Restoration:
The abutment is attached once healing is complete, and then a custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture is placed to complete your smile.
