Post-Operative Instructions: Dental Implants in Tucson AZ | Arizona Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons

Dr. Robert Wood, Dr. Nicholas Coles, and Dr. Negin Saghafi are experts in dental implant consultations and procedures in Tucson, AZ. If you want to replace your missing teeth, dental implants are designed to look and function just like natural teeth. In addition to restoring your ability to eat and smile confidently, they also prevent bone loss and other problems associated with tooth loss. Professionals often recommend them as the first option you should consider when replacing missing teeth. They can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth in a row, or even an entire arch of missing teeth. When you come in for a consultation, your oral surgeon will review your situation and discuss all of your treatment options with you. Not everyone is a candidate, so it’s important to see a specialist for an evaluation before pursuing treatment.
