What are Dental Implants?
As titanium posts that look like small screws, dental implants mimic tooth roots to further stimulate the jawbone once secured in place. Their versatility allows them to support crowns, bridges and dentures for a lifetime, and their functionality eliminates the need for added denture adhesive, making them an effective solution for those suffering from tooth loss.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – Your initial consultation will include meeting with your dentist to discuss whether you should move forward with dental implant surgery or if you need additional treatment to address gum disease, bone deterioration or existing tooth decay first.
- Dental Implant Surgery – You can expect your dental implant surgery to be performed by a skilled implant dentist. You’ll receive local anesthesia before each post is placed and positioned into the appropriate part of your jawbone.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – Osseointegration is the next step, which requires spending 4-6 months at home allowing your implants to fuse with the bone. You’ll then receive your metal abutments, which will connect the restoration to the implant(s).
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – During your consultation, we will determine if you need a crown, bridge or denture. The kind of restoration you receive will be based on how many teeth you are missing. When ready, we will secure it in place on top of your implant posts so that you achieve the full, complete smile you deserve.
Benefits of Dental Implants
There are endless benefits that come with dental implants, many of which cannot be attained by other, more traditional solutions. Whether it is delivering stimulation to your jawbone to prevent shrinkage over time, the ability to eat nutritious foods without worrying about slipping teeth, a smile that can last a lifetime or an easy-to-maintain solution that requires no additional products to buy, you won’t find another form of tooth replacement quite like dental implants.
