What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants refer to small posts that can be surgically placed directly into a patient’s jawbone, where they take the place of the root of a missing tooth. They’re made from biocompatible materials like titanium so that they can safely fuse with your bone tissue, forming a sturdy and permanent bond that mimics nature. From there, a custom-made dental restoration can be placed on top of the implants that looks and feels like your original teeth, and since the underlying posts provide support, these new teeth don’t move or shift around at all.
The 4 Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – The first step of your dental implant journey is the consultation, where we’ll assess your oral health and jawbone density to determine if you’re a good candidate for implants. Some patients require preliminary treatments beforehand, like a bone graft or gum disease treatment.
- Dental Implant Surgery – Since we can complete the whole dental implant process in-house, you won’t need to worry about coordinating with other teams or dealing with hidden expenses. As for the surgery itself, anywhere from one to multiple implant posts can be placed into the jaw at precise angles and locations.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – Following the surgery, patients will need several months to heal so that the implants can fully fuse with the bone tissue. After this has happened, abutments are attached to each implant, which are used to connect the replacement teeth.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – Since dental implants can restore any number of missing teeth, your custom-made restoration should look, feel, and function like your original teeth, and it’ll receive support from the underlying implant posts. Once the restoration has been attached, you’re ready to enjoy your new smile!
