The Dental Implant Procedure
Consultation
We start with a comprehensive examination and discuss your dental needs to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. This includes reviewing your overall health and assessing your jawbone structure.
Implant Placement
The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. This step typically requires a healing period to ensure proper integration of the implant with the bone.
Healing Period
Over several months, the implant integrates with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. During this time, a temporary restoration may be used if needed.
Abutment Placement
Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as the connector between the implant and the final crown.
Crown Placement
A custom-made crown is designed and placed onto the abutment, completing the restoration and providing a natural-looking replacement for your missing tooth.
Final Adjustments
We make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and optimal function, and provide detailed instructions on how to care for your dental implants.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Appearance
Implants are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, seamlessly blending with your existing smile.
Enhanced Function
With dental implants, you can enjoy your favorite foods and speak with confidence, as they restore full chewing function and stability.
Durability
Implants are made from high-quality titanium and other materials that are built to last, offering a long-term solution for tooth replacement.
Bone Health
Implants help preserve jawbone density by stimulating the bone in a way that mimics natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
Improved Comfort
Unlike removable dentures, implants become a permanent part of your mouth, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience associated with traditional dentures.
