Dental Implants in Detroit
A fixed way to replace a missing tooth, planned around your mouth, your health and your goals.
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once it has healed, a crown is attached on top so the new tooth looks and works like the teeth around it.
Every mouth is different, so implant care at Eva Karmo, DDS starts with a conversation. Dr. Karmo looks at your teeth, gums and bite, explains what she sees in plain words and answers your questions before you decide anything.
Patients often tell us they appreciate how clearly Dr. Karmo explains things. If you are nervous, say so: we will take it one step at a time.

- People who want an option that does not come out like a denture

FAQ
Dental Implants: Questions, Answered
Am I a good candidate for a dental implant?
It depends on your gums, the bone in your jaw and your general health. Dr. Karmo will check these at your consultation and explain your options, including alternatives such as a bridge.
How long does the implant process take?
It varies from person to person, because the implant needs time to heal before the final tooth goes on. You will get your own timeline at your consultation.
How do I look after an implant?
Brush and floss around it like a natural tooth and keep your regular cleanings and exams so the gums around it stay healthy.
