Dental Implants in Wauwatosa, WI
Restore Your Smile with Long-Lasting Dental Implants
Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance—they can affect your confidence, oral health, and ability to enjoy daily life. At Firefly Family Dentistry, we provide advanced dental implant solutions in Wauwatosa, WI, helping patients regain strong, healthy smiles that look and feel completely natural.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. Designed to mimic the structure of a natural tooth, an implant has two parts:
Titanium Post: Acts as a replacement for the tooth root, fusing securely to the jawbone.
Custom Restoration: A natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top to restore your smile.
How Dental Implants Work?
The process begins with placing a small titanium post into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be. Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with the bone through osseointegration, creating a stable, permanent foundation.
Once fully healed, we attach a custom-crafted restoration to complete your smile. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants offer exceptional strength, comfort, and aesthetics.
Types of Dental Implant Solutions
Single Tooth Implant
Replace a missing tooth with a durable, natural-looking crown anchored by a single dental implant. Prevent shifting teeth, maintain healthy bone structure, and restore your full bite strength.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Tired of loose dentures? Our implant-retained dentures “snap” securely into place, while hybrid implant dentures are fixed for maximum stability and comfort.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
For patients with multiple missing or failing teeth, full arch dental implants can restore your entire smile. We offer fully digital planning for faster, more accurate results—giving you a brand-new, confident smile!
Why Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants?
Even one missing tooth can have a lasting impact:
- =Surrounding teeth may shift and cause bite misalignment.
- =The jawbone can deteriorate without stimulation from a tooth root.
- =Tooth loss can lead to facial sagging and a "sunken" appearance.
Dental implants not only restore the look of your smile but also help preserve your oral health for years to come.
What to Expect During Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implant surgery is typically a simple outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia (with sedation options available for added comfort). Small incisions are made in the gum, and the implant posts are carefully placed into the jawbone. Healing typically takes several months, after which your custom restoration is securely attached.
Our success rate exceeds 95%, and with proper care, your implants can last a lifetime!
