What are dental implants?

Because of their unique structure, a dental implant is the closest you’ll ever have to your original teeth. Here’s what makes up a dental implant.

  • Titanium post: It’s a biocompatible fixture surgically placed in the jawbone to form the root part of your new tooth. Since it’s biocompatible, it integrates over time with the jawbone to create a solid foundation to support your new tooth.
  • Abutment: Is a small metal connector that links your implant to your new tooth.
  • Crown: It’s the visible, functional part of the implant system. Crowns are crafted from beautiful materials that blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

Due to their secure fit, dental implants don’t require adhesives to stay in place. Although artificial, dental implants closely resemble natural teeth’ function, appearance, and feel.

How are dental implants placed?

Getting a dental implant can make you nervous, but we’re here to make the procedure comfortable and straightforward. Rest assured, even if you need multiple implants, you can expect a comfortable procedure.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Consultation and treatment planning: We’ll examine your oral health and discuss your medical history to determine your eligibility for implantology. Most importantly, your jawbone should be healthy enough to support an implant. If not, you should be open to stabilizing it with bone grafting. After a consultation, we’ll create a custom treatment plan to bring your dream smile to life.
  • Implant surgery: The dentist will surgically place titanium posts into pre-determined locations in the jawbone. Precision is needed to achieve lasting comfort, functionality, and aesthetics.
  • Healing: Your implant will require several months to integrate with the surrounding jawbone. As long as you follow the postoperative instructions carefully, no additional steps are needed during this phase. Your body will naturally heal and integrate the implant with your jawbone. After healing, we’ll place an abutment to secure the crown.·
  • Crown restoration: We’ll scan the implant and surrounding area to create a customized crown. Your new crown will fit perfectly and blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth for a natural appearance.
