What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants refer to small titanium posts that are surgically placed beneath a patient’s gum tissue, directly into their jawbone. This allows them to act as replacement tooth roots – which is something that other tooth replacement options cannot do. 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 like 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’re able to support your dental restorations. Once this process has happened, you will return for a small, second procedure in which the abutment pieces are placed on top of your implant posts.
  • Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) Once everything is all healed up, 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.
