Understanding Implant Dentistry

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These implants provide a stable foundation for dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, mimicking the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Implants offer numerous benefits, including improved oral health, restored chewing ability, enhanced facial aesthetics, and increased confidence.

The Dental Implant Process

1. Consultation and Treatment Planning: During your initial consultation, our implant specialist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Implant Placement: Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. The implants are then left to integrate with the surrounding bone over a period of several months.
3. Restoration Placement: Once the implants have integrated with the bone, abutments are attached to the implants, and custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely placed onto the abutments to restore function and aesthetics.
4. Follow-Up Care: Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure the long-term success of your dental implants.

Our experienced implant specialist will discuss any potential risks with you before the procedure.

Q: How do I care for dental implants after surgery? A: After implant surgery, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene habits, including brushing and flossing regularly and attending follow-up appointments as recommended.
