Call Wausau Smiles at 715-842-3933 right away to set up your appointment with Dr. Aaron Bushong and discover how implants in Wausau, Wisconsin, can enhance your quality of life.
Implants can be used to replace one lost tooth, numerous missing teeth, or all of the teeth. They are a permanent, durable alternative to dentures. The titanium implant post, which resembles a screw, is surgically implanted into the jawbone where the missing tooth formerly was. This restores the missing tooth root and guarantees the stability of your dental restoration.
It then frequently takes a healing period for the bone to start fusing with the biocompatible post. The implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post, will then be inserted by our dentist after this healing phase. Your implant replacement could be a dental crown, dental bridge, complete denture, or partial denture, depending on which teeth are missing and your individual dental requirements. Each implant repair is built specifically to match your smile both cosmetically and comfortably..
A missing tooth replacement can give your smile its best possible health, function, and attractiveness. The fact that an implant is made to feel, look, and operate exactly like your real teeth, and that with proper care, it can last a lifetime, makes it a fantastic alternative for repairing your smile.

Our dentist might suggest implant-supported dentures if you’re seeking for a reliable, long-lasting method of replacing several missing teeth. The form of implant-retained dentures is quite similar to that of conventional dentures, but they are supported by dental implants. Denture users frequently lament how their mouth feels when their appliances “float” around the mouth and become loose, making it difficult for them to properly eat and speak. Cost-effective implant dentures are available, and in many cases, we may refit an existing denture with implants.
The placement of the implants is the initial step in using dental implants to secure your denture. The implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone to firmly hold your denture. They resemble screws in appearance. While your individual demands will determine the precise amount of implants needed, the majority of instances call for 4-6 implants per denture. Your denture is affixed to the implants on top when they have received enough time to recover. This gives your denture incredibly strong stability. Numerous patients even claim that their implant-retained dentures feel and work more like their real teeth.
We invite you to contact or stop by our office right away for more details about implant-supported dentures and to set up your next appointment with our dentist.
Surgical Implant Placement
Implants are a cutting-edge method of replacing lost teeth, and our staff at Wausau Smiles is happy to provide our patients with a number of implant treatments. Each implant is inserted surgically, and Dr. Aaron Bushong, our dentist, has the education and experience required to guarantee that your procedure is effective. We invite you to call our office at 715-842-3933 if you’d like to know more about how we surgically place dental implants in Wausau, Wisconsin.
A single lost tooth, numerous missing teeth, or a complete dental arch can all be replaced using implants, which are a type of dental restoration. There are three components that make up an implant: the post, the abutment, and the restoration. The missing tooth’s former location in the jawbone is where the implant post is surgically inserted. This post acts as the tooth’s new roots, giving your restoration a more solid and long-lasting base. The restoration, which is often a crown, bridge, or denture, is attached to the implant once the abutment has been appropriately positioned on top of it.
Your mouth and supporting structures will be assessed by our dentist before the implant placement process to establish the ideal location and insertion angle for the implant post. Prior to your implant surgery, our dentist may advise a bone graft if your jaw bone is not strong enough to support an implant. This will fortify your jaw bone and raise the likelihood that your implant procedure will be effective.
To prepare for the implant process, our dentist will first make an incision in the gum tissue surrounding the lost tooth. The underlying bone will become visible. The jaw bone will then be prepared by drilling a hole large enough to accommodate the implant post. In order to adequately support the tooth as it is replacing the natural roots, the post is placed deeply into the bone. After the implant has been placed, you will need to wait for a healing time to allow the implant post to fuse with the jaw bone. After that, we’ll apply your restoration to wrap up your care.
Our dentist encourages you to discuss implants if you have one or more missing teeth. Call our office right now to set up your consultation.
