What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants refer to small titanium posts that are surgically placed into a patient’s jawbone in order to replace missing teeth. By functioning as a replacement tooth root, the post doesn’t just provide sturdy support for the replacement teeth (often a dental crown, bridge, or denture); it also ensures that the jawbone receives healthy stimulation and continues growing. This feature is entirely unique to dental implants! They also have the potential to last for quite a bit longer than other traditional restorative options.
The 4 Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – You’ll need to attend a consultation to determine if dental implants are a suitable option for restoring your smile. Some patients might need to undergo periodontal therapy or a bone graft first in order to set the implants up for success.
- Dental Implant Surgery – We’re partnered with some of the best dental implant experts in the Campbell area, ensuring that your implants are placed with the utmost care and precision. As for the surgery itself, it’s not too complicated; the jawbone is accessed through the gumline and the implant posts are placed; it takes around an hour to place each implant, and depending on the extent of your tooth loss, one to a few posts can be used.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – Once they’ve been placed, the implant posts will begin fusing with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration; this takes a few months, and the future success of your implants relies on it. Following this, you’ll receive your abutments, which connect your restoration(s).
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – Following the placement of your abutments, you’ll be able to receive your custom-made dental restoration, which should look, feel, and operate just like your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer patients numerous life-changing benefits, including:
- The restorations look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, and thanks to the embedded posts, they have the support they need to stimulate your underlying jawbone, preventing it from deteriorating.
- With excellent oral hygiene and routine preventive care, dental implants can potentially last for decades and don’t require any special maintenance or cleaners.
- Dental implants restore a patient’s bite force, allowing them to enjoy a varied and hearty diet with relative ease.
