Dental Implants

Feel and function like natural teeth

Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Chance is able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them, but do require approximately 3 to 4 months of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures. Dental implant placement is a team effort between an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a restorative dentist.
