The dental implant treatment: What to expect
Unlike other teeth replacements, dental implants replace your entire missing tooth from the root to the crown. So, as you’d expect, the dental implant procedure isn’t an overnight job. The treatment takes several months to complete, but it’s worth the wait because you get something almost similar to the natural tooth.
These are the steps involved in replacing your teeth with dental implants.
- Consultation: The dentist will evaluate your oral health and general health to determine your candidacy for dental implants. Most importantly, the dentist will examine your bone health to ensure it has sufficient height and volume to support an implant.
- Implant surgery: The dentist surgically places a titanium screw at a precise location in the jawbone. The doctor administers this procedure after anesthetizing your gums for a pain-free experience.
- Osseointegration: The dentist will leave the implants for 4-6 months to merge with the jawbone through osseointegration. Once this fusion occurs, your implant becomes part of your dentition, becoming stable enough to anchor one or more prosthetic teeth.
- Abutment placement: Once your implant fully integrates with the jawbone, the dentist administers a minor surgery to attach a metal connector (abutment) to your implant. Then, we’ll take digital scans of your implant, serving as the reference for crafting your personalized restoration.
- Final restoration: The last step is to top off your implant with a crown, denture, or bridge, depending on the number of teeth lost. Your tooth-like restoration becomes the visible and functional of your implant.
Our office offers multiple dental implant options to accommodate numerous needs. If you have one or more missing teeth that are not close to each other, we’ll place a single implant to restore your smile’s beauty and function. However, if you have multiple missing teeth adjacent to each other, we’ll restore your smile with an implant-retained bridge or denture.
Creekside Dental Care blends years of experience with cutting-edge technology to place dental implants with optimal aesthetics, function, and stability. Don’t let missing teeth impact your everyday life. Call (587) 600-1089 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Guzman.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all-porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
