Missing a tooth or several teeth can make it very difficult to chew or speak properly. In some instances, it may also change your physical appearance to the point of being a source of distress. A dental implant can replace a freestanding tooth or be a part of a bridge to replace several missing teeth. It is one of the most successful and long-lasting tooth replacement options available that can change your life. We want to ensure you receive the best care possible and will work as a team of dentists to restore your smile and function.

IMPLANT TREATMENT PROCESS

Implants may take several months from start to finish but are well worth the wait. The implant is placed where it will fuse to the bone. When it’s securely attached itself to the bone, it can then be restored with a crown, bridge or denture depending on your needs.

CONSULTATION

Your dentist will assess your overall health and evaluate the amount and quality of bone by taking a 3D X-ray of the area. This allows for precise planning and placement of the implant and more predictable treatment outcomes. Once your dentist has come up with a surgical plan, you will be scheduled for your surgery.

IMPLANT PLACEMENT

During the implant placement surgery, your dentist will make an incision in your gums and place the titanium implant in your bone. If your dentist sees the need for a bone graft or sinus lift to secure the dental implant, this may be performed along with the implant placement. After the implant is placed, the area is cleaned and sutures are placed to start the healing process.

HEALING

Your gums and jaw bone will begin to heal immediately after the implant placement. While the incision site will heal after 1 to 2 weeks, it will take 4 to 6 months for the implant to permanently fuse with your bone. You will be seeing your dentist throughout this healing period to check and monitor your progress.

IMPLANT RESTORATION

Once your dentist has confirmed complete healing and integration of the implant to your bone, you are ready for the final step of receiving the dental crown or other restoration. It will be custom made to match your natural teeth and fixed securely to the implant. Your smile and function are now restored!
