What Are Dental Implants?
Made of titanium and designed to look like screws, dental implants require surgical placement into the jawbone to create a solid base for what will become a healthier smile. They are topped with metal connector appliances and a custom restoration, which can be a crown, bridge, or denture. Once everything is in place, the full root-to-crown replacement will provide a more reliable, stable, and beautiful result – one you can be satisfied with for a lifetime.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
Initial Consultation: You will schedule a consultation with one of our implant dentists in our office, who will go over the details of your oral and overall health history as well as the status of your jawbone density. If we find any issues, such as gum disease, severe decay, or bone resorption, we may suggest additional treatment before you can be cleared for oral surgery.
Dental Implant Surgery: The entire dental implant process is completed in-house, so you will not need to go anywhere else to have your new teeth put in place. We’ll administer local anesthesia to numb your mouth before opening your gum tissues and placing each implant post into the appropriate space along the jawbone.
Osseointegration/Abutment: The next 4-6 months should be spent allowing your mouth to heal and making sure you do not disrupt the osseointegration process. This phase is essential, as it ensures your implants fuse with the jawbone. Once this is completed, you will return to our office to receive your metal abutments, which will be placed on top of your implants.
Delivery of Final Restoration: Before you can begin to enjoy your new smile, we will need to place the final restoration on top of your implant posts. No matter if it’s a dental crown, bridge, or denture, it can be customized to fit your mouth comfortably while also allowing you to experience a greater bite force when eating.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The benefits of dental implants are unlike any you might experience with dentures or dental bridges. As the only root-to-crown tooth replacement available, these prosthetics are considered the gold standard among dental professionals. Here’s why:
- They can last a lifetime as long as they are properly maintained over the years.
- They deliver stimulation to the jawbone because of their placement, which means a lower chance of bone loss and facial sagging.
- They help improve oral health by keeping natural teeth in place, so they do not shift out of alignment.
- They help minimize the potential development of certain health conditions that are commonly tied to tooth loss, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis.
- They help restore your bite force, so you have virtually no food restrictions in your future.
- They provide a natural-looking aesthetic, so you can appear more youthful and confident.
