If you’ve experienced tooth loss in Willoughby, Ohio, consider the permanent solution offered by Rich Flores, DDS, LLC, through dental implants. Our implant-based restorations, skillfully placed and restored by Dr. Rich Flores, provide a lasting solution that closely mimics natural teeth. Our doctor expertly administers the dental implant procedure in our office using local anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort.
A traditional implant uses a three-piece system to replace your tooth from the crown to the root. The first part of the implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to act as a tooth root. Above the implant fixture, we place a metal piece (abutment) that protrudes through the gums to link the implant to the final tooth restoration.
The final component of an implant is a crown if replacing one tooth or a bridge if replacing several teeth. Whatever the dental prosthetic, you can be assured of a functional and natural-looking masterpiece.Â
Dental implants can replace teeth anywhere in your mouth, whether front or back. We understand replacing teeth in the “smile zone” needs to be as natural as possible to maintain your aesthetics. Dental implants are natural-looking, so when used to replace teeth visible when smiling, they are virtually indistinguishable from other teeth.Â
Whether we restore your implant(s) with a crown or bridge, the final restoration’s color and shape precisely match the rest of your smile to ensure no one can guess they are artificial. Dental implants in the front not only enhance your aesthetics but restore your biting ability to help you enjoy most if not all, dietary choices.Â
Dental implants restore the health and appearance of the front teeth to help you enjoy a beautiful smile for many years. The many benefits of dental implants include the following:
