What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed beneath a patient’s gum tissue, directly into their jawbone. This allows them to act as replacement tooth roots, unlike other tooth replacement options. Since titanium is biocompatible, the posts can actually fuse with the bone tissue over time to form a permanent, sturdy foundation that supports a custom-made dental restoration.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – The first step on your dental implant journey is a consultation at our office. We’ll examine your smile, noting the extent of your tooth loss, as well as factors such as jawbone density and gum health. A good candidate will need healthy gums and enough bone density to support the implants.
- Dental Implant Surgery – We can perform the dental implant process here in our office, saving you the hassle of coordinating with other teams. As for the surgery itself, it’s a surprisingly straightforward process; the implants are placed at precise angles into the jawbone as needed, and anywhere from one to a few can be used.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – Once they’ve been placed, the implants will need several months to fuse with the jaw tissue through a process called osseointegration. This ensures they can support your dental restorations. Once this process is complete, you will return for a brief second procedure in which the abutment pieces are placed on top of your implant posts.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – Once everything is healed, you can finally receive your custom-made, fully functional dental restoration; this may be a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on the location and number of teeth lost.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Patients who opt to receive dental implants are gaining access to a wide range of life-changing benefits, including:
- Dental implants are the only form of tooth replacement that can replace the entire structure of a lost tooth, from root to crown.
- Patients with dental implants experience improved biting power, meaning that they can eat virtually all types of foods with ease.
- Unlike traditional options like dentures, dental implants don’t require any form of specialized care or specific cleaning solutions.
- With the right care, dental implants have the potential to last for decades or even a lifetime.
