Dental implants - How are they placed?

 Whether you are replacing one or several missing teeth, or want to replace your dentures altogether, implants are the solution.  Dr. Goldin will start by taking a mold of your teeth.  That mold is sent to a lab with precise instructions of tooth shape, size, and bite measurements.  The lab creates a “wax up” – a wax mold of how the new teeth will look. 

Together, Dr. Goldin and you will review the wax up and either make changes or give the lab approval to proceed.   From the wax up, the lab creates your new implant “teeth” out of porcelain.  In the interim, Dr. Goldin will place the artificial roots into the jaw, and allow the area to heal.  Once the teeth are complete, Dr. Goldin will permanently place them on the titanium roots.  You’ll be smiling and eating your favorite foods again with confidence!
