What Happens During a Dental Implants Procedure?
- First, a detailed evaluation and treatment plan is prescribed by Dr. Clark.
- Next your implant(s) will be placed gently below your gum line in a single visit.
- The implants will need time to heal and fuse with your jaw bone (usually for 3 to 6 months). During this time, you will need to wear a modified or temporary denture or dental bridge
- After your implant has fully healed, a small metal post (abutment) will be attached. This segment will be used to secure your denture or dental crown to the implant.
- Finally, your new replacement teeth can be crafted and fitted. Total treatment time for most dental implants is typically between 5 and 8 months.
What Are The Advantages of Dental Implants Placement?
Dental implants are versatile. They can be used to replace an entire lower or upper denture, a partial denture, fixed bridgework, or a single missing tooth. Dental implants anchor your tooth replacement, eliminating embarrassing and uncomfortable slippage and shifting. They actually replace your missing tooth’s root, so they preserve your remaining jawbone density, to prevent premature aging. They can be cared for just as if they were your natural teeth, they never decay, and they can last a lifetime with proper oral maintenance. Implants can enhance overall oral functioning and fully restore the feeling of natural teeth.
Superior Dental Implants Appointments
If a patient is well enough to undergo fixed bridgework or routine oral surgery, they should be eligible to undergo a dental implants procedure. However, the density and location of available bone is usually the major determinant of a good implant candidate. Make your dental implants appointment with Dr. Clark today.
