Dental implants in Muskegon, MI, are the perfect option to restore missing teeth. Come to Terry Dental, where Dr. Rob Terry and Dr. Justin Terry will replace your missing teeth in a comfortable and professional environment.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are extremely durable to replace your tooth's root. The small titanium post will be placed in the upper or lower jawbone(depending on where your tooth is missing). Then it fuses with the bone tissue, which allows you to keep that very same implant for life. You can replace one tooth, several teeth, or all of them.

How Does The Procedure Work?

Once we insert the dental implants in Muskegon, MI, they need time to heal and fuse with the bone tissue. This healing will take several months before we can complete the procedure. A cast or mold of your mouth is created so our staff can fabricate a beautiful new tooth to replace your missing one(s).

During this time, you'll be given a temporary replacement which will look and feel very similar to your natural teeth. A second appointment will be made for us to cement your permanent replacement tooth onto the implant post.

Dental implants can also support dentures by snapping them in place. As a result, your dentures won't slip out when eating or talking.

How Do I Care For Implants?

After the procedure is complete, you'll be sent home with a care package. Included will be special tools and instructions on how to keep your implants clean and free of germs. Since the post is made from titanium, it will last a lifetime as long as it's cared for properly, like everything else.

You must still maintain good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and rinsing daily. There are many foods you'll be able to eat again with hardly any restrictions. Come in for regular visits with our dentists so we can do professional cleaning, check for gum disease, and make sure there is no infection.

We will also check your implant regularly to ensure everything is working properly in between regular cleanings.

You no longer have to live with missing teeth or only deal with temporary replacements. At Terry Dental, Drs. Terry can comfortably give you dental implants in Muskegon, MI. Begin the journey to a new smile and call us at (231) 759-0855 for an appointment today.
