A dental implant is a restorative option that your dentist can use to replace one or more missing teeth. When complete, dental implants look and function exactly like natural teeth! The procedure is not a one-step process, however. Dental implants typically require many visits over several months.
Preparation and Implantation
You dentist will use X-rays and examinations to determine whether you are a good candidate for implants. During the implant process, a titanium rod is placed in the jawbone after the dentist creates a space for it using a special drill. In some cases, bone grafting may be necessary to support the implant. Once the dental implant is placed, it must heal for a period of three to six months so the bone can fully bond with the rod.
Post Attachment
If the implant your dentist uses does not have an incorporated post, the next stage will involve attaching an abutment to the implant in order to provide an anchor for the replacement tooth. During this stage, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth from which to create the crown.
Placement of the Crown
When the crown is completed, you will go back to your dentist for placement. Several adjustments may be required before the crown is permanently attached to the implant post. Once the shape and fit of the crown have been perfected and the crown has been permanently attached, your dental implant will look and function no differently from your natural teeth.
