Are missing teeth taking the joy out of the everyday things you love, like eating your favorite foods and smiling with confidence? Dental implants are the number one choice for replacing missing teeth. They look and function like real teeth and can last for year.

When you need a dental implant, quality matters – and so does price. You don’t have to travel out of town for multiple visits to get an implant. Brookings Dental Arts offers quality dental implants at an affordable price right here on the Oregon coast.

Brookings Dental Arts also offers sedation options to help anxious patience relax. Having anxiety about visiting the dentist shouldn’t prevent you from getting the dental care you need.

The Implant Process

Replacing a tooth with an implant is a process that takes several steps.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that serves as the replacement for the root of your missing tooth. Dr. Brice Chang places the implant into your jaw, where it will naturally fuse with your bone to become a solid anchor. After the implant surgery, patients must wait several months to let their gums heal.

The next step is to place a metal cylinder, called an abutment, into the implant. The final step is securing the fake tooth – called a restoration – onto the abutment.

Once the dental implant process is complete, you can chew, brush and floss as normal. And you can smile with confidence because your implant is designed to match the rest of your teeth.

Do you need more than one dental implant? Brookings Dental Arts now offers All-on-4, a great option for people missing more than one tooth.

Dr. Brice Chang is the Right Choice

If you are considering a dental implant, it’s crucial to work with a highly trained dentist who has extensive experience. Tooth loss and other dental issues are complex. You need a dentist with the experience to diagnose and explain the best options for your unique situation. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to dental implants.

Dr. Brice Chang has a Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry. He has fifteen years of experience in dental implant surgery, and he has completed more than 1,000 (change it to 2000) dental implants.
