Single Tooth Implants
Bingham Farms, MI

At this time, we do not place temporary crowns or bridges on newly implanted implants to reduce pressure on the implants and promote proper fusion with your jawbone.

We are now able to consider many individuals, including those who were previously ineligible, for dental implants. Please contact us to schedule a consultation and learn how we can assist in restoring your smile.

Care for your dental implants like you would your natural teeth:

• Remember to brush and floss twice a day.
• Visit your dentist for regular cleanings at the intervals they recommend.

When inserted into the mouth, these implants closely resemble natural teeth, making them nearly impossible to distinguish. The implant body, shaped like a screw, remains concealed beneath the gums and within the bone.

Yes, it may not feel exactly like a natural tooth, but it will still function in the same way.

In most cases, patients can return to work within one to two days after the procedure, but some may require extra time off.

I'm sorry, but once your implant is completed, it cannot be removed.

Currently, we do not offer anesthesia for inducing sleep in patients. However, we do provide oral conscious sedation as an alternative. This medication is designed to help you relax during your procedure and may result in a lack of memory of the event. To receive this medication, we will write you a prescription that you can pick up from your chosen pharmacy. Please remember to arrange for a designated driver to take you home after taking the oral sedation pill(s). It is important not to drive or operate machinery after consuming this medication.

Please be aware that some bleeding for up to 24 hours after your implant placement is normal. If you experience excessive bleeding, please reach out to the clinic for assistance.

A helpful home remedy for clotting and stopping bleeding is using tea bags. To do this, dampen a regular tea bag, remove excess water, and place it on the extraction site. The tanic acid in the tea leaves can help promote clotting. If needed, you can use additional tea bags and replace them as necessary. Repeat this process as needed.

While individual experiences may vary, it is common to experience discomfort and swelling after the procedure. Some patients may only experience minimal discomfort. Pain medication will be provided to help alleviate any discomfort.

We prioritize the best, most predictable results for our patients, which is why we do not offer zirconia implants at this time due to their newness and unknown long-term success.

Although titanium dental implants typically have a success rate of over 95%, it is still possible for them to fail. Some factors that may contribute to implant failure include:

• Failure to properly integrate into the bone
• Smoking
• Diabetes

If an implant does fail within the first year, your dentist will replace it at no cost to you.
