Dental Implants

You don’t have to live with unsightly gaps due to missing teeth. They can now be easily replaced with state-of-the-art dental implants. Dr.Shlafer is able to comfortably place implants for many of our patients. When an implant is done, your mouth is numbed, and an opening is made in the gums where a channel is shaped in the bone to receive the implant. The implant is secured and the healing process of 3-4 months begins, this allows the implant to become fused permanently to the bone.
After the healing process is complete Dr.Shlafer will see you for a custom impression which is sent to the lab to have your abutment and crown fabricated. The lab uses the impressions to make an accurate model of your mouth, including the implant. They use the model to create a crown that precisely fits the implant and your bite. With proper maintenance, you can expect your implant and restoration to last for a lifetime.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

An implant restored with a crown has several advantages. The implant stops bone loss that occurs when a tooth is lost, and it prevents the surrounding teeth from shifting into the space. Unlike replacing the tooth with a traditional bridge, there is no need to reduce the size of the neighboring teeth. Because an implant works as an independent system, the outcome for a successful long term restoration is more predictable. Implants do not rely on surrounding teeth for support; they are securely anchored and long lasting. They look and feel like natural teeth, so having dental implants is comfortable and easy to care for. They can be used underneath to support bridges, and dentures, this eliminates the possible embarrassment of a denture that may come out unexpectedly. Implants could be the right answer to replace your missing teeth or ill-fitting denture. With a natural and comfortable fit that lasts for years to come.

Porcelain Bridges

Another alternative to dental implants may be a bridge. Available in West Bloomfield, in some circumstances a bridge may be a better option and many times it is the treatment chosen to replace missing or damaged tooth. Bridge can be made to match the exact shade of existing natural teeth, so your smile will look great.

Single-Visit Crowns

Up until now, patients in the West Bloomfield area often had to undergo a series of appointments to have porcelain crowns fabricated. It is now possible to have porcelain crowns completed in one visit. This eliminates the impression, the wearing of a temporary crown and the additional return visit to have your permanent crown cemented several weeks later. Dr.Shlafer’s patients find this advancement in dentistry a great benefit to them, allowing fewer trips to the office, with less inconvenience, so you can get on with your busy life.
