DENTAL IMPLANTS
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once the implant is placed, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to it, providing a complete, functional, and aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement. The implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and durable foundation.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Ideal candidates for dental implants are those with healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implant. People who are missing one or more teeth and are in good overall health can typically benefit from dental implants. However, those with certain medical conditions may need to discuss alternative options with their dentist.
The Dental Implant Process
Initial Consultation:
Your dentist will assess your oral health, review your medical history, and determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants.
Implant Placement Surgery:
The titanium post is placed into the jawbone during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable experience.
Healing Period:
Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone, providing a stable base for the replacement tooth.
Attaching the Crown/Restoration:
Once the implant is fully integrated, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached, completing the restoration.
