The Dental Implant Procedure
You’ll receive your dental implants in several stages to ensure your new tooth is as secure as possible. Though the process may seem like it takes a while, there’s no other tooth replacement option like a dental implant.
Fixture Placement
The fixture is the part of your implant that will function as its roots, holding your new tooth in place permanently. Because of this, it’s vital that the fixture is placed correctly and heals properly.
Made from biocompatible titanium, the fixture creates a strong bond with your bone during osseointegration. This process may take a couple of months to complete, so while waiting can be difficult, it’s one of the most important steps.
Our team will give you a temporary crown so you won’t have to be without a tooth while your surgical site is healing.
Your Finished Implant
When your fixture is fully healed and integrated, we’ll call you back to our office for the rest of your implant. our team will then place your abutment, which connects your porcelain crown to the fixture.
You’ll be able to leave our office and smile fearlessly — an implant blends seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, so nobody will be able to tell you lost a tooth.
Dental Implant Candidacy
Do you have missing teeth and want aesthetically pleasing tooth replacements? Then you’re a candidate. With the help of supplemental procedures, nearly everyone is eligible for an implant.
Cases that may have to be evaluated on an individual basis include if you’re pregnant, smoke cigarettes, or if you’re hesitant about supplemental procedures.
You Don’t Have to Hide
With dental implants, you won’t have to be afraid anymore. Worrying about the appearance of your smile can hold you back, but implants can free you. Get ready to smile without hesitation.
