What are Dental Implants?
Traditional tooth replacement options like bridges and dentures only replace the visible portion of teeth – and while this is incredibly useful, dental implants actually take tooth restoration one step further and replace the entire structure of a lost pearly white, from root to crown. Since they’re made from biocompatible posts that can fuse with bone tissue, they create an impressive foundation for the customized restoration that sits on top. This might be a crown, bridge, or denture depending on how many teeth you need to have replaced. Once placed, dental implants can last for several decades or potentially a lifetime with excellent care.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
The process for receiving dental implants can normally be categorized into four key steps:
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – This appointment will include a thorough examination of your mouth and facial structures. From there, our team can determine if you can receive dental implants right away or if you need additional treatments beforehand, like gum disease treatment, tooth extraction, or bone grafting.
- Dental Implant Surgery – The oral surgery that is required to place your dental implants will be performed by outside specialists. We partner with some of the best in the area, so you can rest assured that your smile is in the most talented hands.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – After your surgery is complete, you will spend several months healing, which allows your implants to fuse with the bone in a process known as osseointegration. Once this is finished, you will receive your metal abutments, which help to attach your restoration to your implant post(s).
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – When nearing the end of your dental implant treatment, the last step is to receive your customized restoration. These are placed on top of the abutments and can be customized exclusively based on your needs. From there, you’ll be ready to head into the world with your new smile!
Benefits of Dental Implants
As a superior form of tooth replacement, dental implants come with a long list of impressive, life-changing benefits that go far beyond merely restoring lost teeth. The implants drastically improve oral functionality and allow patients to bite and chew their food with ease, as well as to converse clearly with others. They also prevent the bone resorption that commonly follows extended tooth loss, as they replace the entire structure of the lost tooth from root to crown. And it goes without saying that the confidence provided by dental implants is outstanding; being able to smile at others with a complete set of teeth will open several doors to opportunities and keep your overall morale quite high.
