What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a screw shaped post that is placed directly into the jawbone that mimics the form and function of a tooth’s natural roots. Implants provide a stable and secure foundation for a variety of tooth replacement options that won’t slip and slide around in your mouth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer many benefits over other tooth replacement options. Made from durable, biocompatible materials, implants permanently bond with the surrounding bone tissue, helping to preserve your oral health and prevent further bone loss. They can support restorations that are designed to look and feel just like natural teeth, providing enhanced aesthetics and improved function. With dental implants, there are no dietary restrictions, so you can eat your favorite foods without worry.

The dental implant treatment process

If you are considering dental implants, it is important to know that the process involves multiple steps that take place over several months.

1

Consultation and Treatment Planning

The first step in the dental implant process is a comprehensive consultation with your dentist. During this consultation, your doctor will assess your oral health and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. If you require bone grafting or any other preparatory procedures, they will be incorporated into your treatment plan.

2

Implant Placement

Once you have been approved for treatment, the next step is implant placement. This is the stage where the dental implant is inserted into the jawbone, acting as a replacement for the natural tooth root. We use our 3D printer to create custom surgical guides to ensure every implant is placed in the ideal location.

3

Applying the Restoration

After the implant has been inserted into the jawbone, it will need time to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This process can take anywhere from 2 to 3 months, depending on the patient. Once the healing is complete, the final step is to place the permanent restoration. This can include an implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture.
