Dental implants are metal posts surgically placed into the upper and lower jawbone. They are used to replace one or more teeth, and on some occasions, if all teeth are lost due to disease or an accident.

At Ascent Family Dental, Dr. Williams has all the necessary technology to place implants. Often periodontists and oral surgeons are the ones placing implants as they have gone through extensive and formal training for such treatment. However, depending on the area of the mouth, the amount of adequate jawbone, and the complexity of your situation, many dentists are now able to place implants as well.

Your consultation visit typically lasts an hour. Dr. Williams will examine the area/s with missing teeth, the dental assistant will take a three-dimensional x-ray of the jawbone, and Dr. Williams will walk you through every step of the treatment in detail. You will meet with the Treatment Coordinator to review appointment schedules, costs, and payment options. Your treatment will be as painless as possible thanks to the various anesthesia options we have available.
