Dental implants are a state-of-the-art approach to replacing missing teeth. The implants are made up of two basic parts. The implant itself is a titanium post that is placed surgically into the gum where your tooth was. As you heal, the post becomes a part of your jaw, a process known as osseointegration.
The part of the implant that everyone sees is the crown that is attached to the implant. This crown is highly realistic, and nobody will know that it isn’t one of your natural teeth. At Ai Family Dental, we are able to both place and restore dental implants, meaning that the entire process can be completed in our office by the dentist you know and trust.
Give us a call to schedule an appointment with Dr. Liao to learn more about this fascinating technique.

It’s extremely important to care for your implants as you would any other teeth. That being said, make sure to follow these steps to ensure your implants last for years to come:
◆ Eat a healthy diet (cut back on sweets and soft drinks)
◆ See your dentist regularly (every 4-6 months) for hygiene appointments
◆ Brush your teeth twice daily for 2 minutes with a soft or electric toothbrush
◆ Floss every day or use a water flosser (Waterpik)
◆ Always clean between the teeth and around the dental implant
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Dental implants are a permanent replacement for missing teeth. Unlike other methods of teeth replacement, dental implants have a metal post that actually becomes a part of the structure of your jaw. This prevents bone loss, a serious problem when you have missing teeth. You can care for your implants the same way you would for your own teeth, with regular brushing and flossing combined with routine examinations and cleanings with Ai Family Dental.
