Dental Implants

If you need one or many replacement teeth, or if you wear dentures and would like to throw away your adhesives, consider dental implants. Dr. Brunner, Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Jahimiak and Dr. Neuschaefer work with an oral surgeon or periodontist in an interdisciplinary approach to make dental implant placement and restoration convenient.

A dental implant consists of two parts: the post and the restoration. As your trusted family dentist, Dr. Brunner, Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Jahimiak or Dr. Neuschaefer will oversee the oral surgery part of the process, working closely with a trusted oral surgeon or periodontist to make sure that your implant posts are placed accurately. The posts, made of biocompatible titanium, will be accepted by natural bone tissue to create a solid foundation, much like a natural tooth's root. After the implant posts are secure, Dr. Brunner, Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Jahimiak or Dr. Neuschaefer will attach a finished restoration or your prosthetic unit  (bridge, partial, or denture), in our Brookfield dentist's office.

Dental implants mimic natural tooth structure, so you will not have to worry about adhesives, special care routines, or embarrassing slippage. In fact, you'll care for your new implants just as you do your natural teeth, with daily brushing and flossing, as well as regular checkups and cleanings. Dental implants have improved the lives of many Elmbrook Family Dental patients.
