What Makes Dental Implants in Wauwatosa So Awesome?
Dental implants do more than fill gaps. They protect your jawbone, support your facial structure, and restore your ability to chew everything from steak to salad. Unlike dentures, implants don’t slip or click. The dentist places a titanium post into your jawbone; over time, it bonds with the bone to become a strong foundation for your new tooth.
Why Our Patients Love Dental Implants
Our patients in Wauwatosa choose implants for lots of good reasons:
- They look natural
- They stay in place
- They last for decades with proper care
- They prevent bone loss
- They boost self-esteem
One of our patients recently told Dr. Russell she forgot which tooth was the implant. That’s how real it felt and what we aim for every time.
Behind the Drill: Step-by-Step Smiles (Now with Extra Tech Magic)
Dr. Hoyme and the rest of our team want you to feel informed and confident at every stage of your dental implant journey. We use advanced technology to make the process more precise, comfortable, and successful, from start to finish.
-
Consultation and Planning
The doctor begins by evaluating your oral and overall health. We use advanced 3D cone beam imaging to get a detailed view of your jawbone and surrounding structures. This technology helps us measure bone density, map nerves, and design a surgical guide that ensures pinpoint accuracy. The dentist then creates a customized treatment plan, tailored to your smile goals and anatomy.
-
Placement
Using digital planning tools and guided implant technology, the doctor places the titanium post into your jawbone with exceptional precision. Because of this technology, the procedure usually takes less time and causes less discomfort. The dentist may use a surgical guide to position the implant exactly where it needs to go, minimizing guesswork and maximizing long-term success. -
Healing Time
Over the next few months, your jawbone naturally fuses with the implant post. This process, called osseointegration, builds a stable foundation for your new tooth. During this time, we check in with you to monitor healing using digital scans, not just a visual check. Most patients say the recovery feels easier than expected, thanks in part to the precision of the placement.
-
Restoration
Once healing is complete, we attach a custom crown that looks and feels like a natural tooth. We design the crown with digital impressions, which means no gooey trays and no guesswork. The result is a seamless match that fits your bite, smile, and personality.
-
Maintenance and Smile Finishing Touches
Once your new tooth is in place, our job isn’t over. We help you keep your implant and surrounding teeth healthy with regular professional cleanings and exams. At each visit, the dentist checks the implant’s integrity and ensures your gum tissue stays strong. We also offer cosmetic services, like whitening or veneers, if you want your full smile to look as great as your new tooth, because the best dental work should disappear into your smile, not stand out.
