What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed below the gumline, within the jawbone. Because they’re made from biocompatible materials, they’re able to naturally fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for any type of restoration to be attached to, including a crown, bridge, or denture.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Consultation: At your consultation, our dentists will examine your mouth and take X-rays to determine whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants. If so, we’ll move forward by creating a curated treatment plan to rebuild your smile using this procedure.
- Surgery: The next part of your process will be to have your dental implants surgically inserted within your mouth. We partner with local, knowledgeable experts during this step to make sure you get the best possible results.
- Healing: Over the following three to six months, your dental implants will fuse with the jawbone. It typically takes about two weeks for your gums to heal around your implants, but patients are usually able to return to work within just a day or two of their surgery.
- Abutment & Restoration: Once your implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a small connector piece called an abutment is secured to the implant. This component allows your custom restoration — such as a crown, bridge, or denture — to be precisely attached. After your gums have healed around the abutment, your final restoration is placed, completing your smile with results designed to look natural and function comfortably.
