The procedure for dental implants in Buffalo
Keeping your smile healthy and beautiful is our priority at The Smile Center in Buffalo. We want you to keep your natural teeth for your entire lifetime. Unfortunately, conditions such as decay, disease, or injury can cause you to lose your adult teeth. When this happens, there is no need to worry; you are in good hands. With dental implants, you can have your teeth restored with comfort and stability.
The implant is then placed over the bone through a small incision into the gum tissue. Once the implant is in place, you will be fitted with a temporary restoration to allow healing time. The healing process for dental implants is extremely important. It is during this time that the implant fuses with the jawbone and becomes part of the structure of the mouth. Once the implant is healed and securely in place, it can be topped with an abutment to hold the restoration.
Your new dental implant restoration will look, feel, and work just like your natural teeth. Our patients all say they are thrilled with how natural their new smiles feel. Many of them even receive remarks on how wonderful their smile looks.

Rating: 5 I have a great deal of anxiety in having dental procedures, even very easy things like routine cleanings. Everyone at the Smile Center made me feel as comfortable as I could and put my nerves at ease. My recent dental work was completely painless, and the doctor, as well as her assistants, were kind and gentle. ~ Saram.

Rating: 5 The staff at the Smile Center is very friendly. They always make sure to return my phone call as soon as possible. They've never left me waiting. I was glad that they were located in a safe neighborhood. They've never rushed my teeth cleaning. They always go above and beyond to make sure my teeth look and feel fantastic. They remind me of appointments with a card in the mail and a phone call, which is very helpful. I used to be a little dental phobic, but they calmed my fears. I always recommend them to people who are looking for a new dental clinic. ~ ELAINE M.
