What are dental implants?

Missing teeth can impact your oral health, appearance, and confidence. Fortunately, dental implants offer a solution that provides a natural look and feel.

A dental implant is a two-part system that includes a metal post and a crown. The metal post, made of titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, the titanium fuses with the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for the crown.

The crown, attached to the metal post, resembles a natural tooth and functions like one as well. With dental implants, you can eat, talk, and smile with confidence, knowing that your artificial teeth look and feel like the real thing.

Dental implants treatment procedure

Step 1: Oral Examination
Your first step towards getting dental implants is to visit a dentist. During this appointment, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Step 2: Bone Graft (Optional)
If your jawbone is thin, a bone graft may be necessary to ensure that the implant has enough structure to remain securely in place. This procedure involves transplanting a small piece of bone into your jaw, which takes time to heal.

Step 3: Healing Time
The healing process after a bone graft can take anywhere from three to twelve months, depending on the individual. This is a crucial time for the implant to fuse with the surrounding tissues and jawbone.

Step 4: Implant Placement
Once your mouth has fully healed from the bone graft (if necessary), it is time for implant placement. This is a surgical procedure during which a titanium screw, acting as the root of the artificial tooth, is inserted into the jawbone. It can take up to six months for the implant to fully heal.

Step 5: Crown and Abutment Placement
Once your jaw has successfully accepted the implant and is fully healed, the next step is to place the crown and abutment. The temporary crown or cap is removed, and a connector (abutment) is inserted to connect the crown to the root. With this final step, your dental implants will be complete and ready to use.
