Dental implants mimic the look, feel, and performance of your natural teeth. It is a fixed permanent way to replace missing teeth or severely decayed non restorable teeth that requires an extraction. If taken good care off, they can potentially last for life. Please see us at Heritage Square Dental Clinic to discover the permanent way to replace lost, decayed, or damaged teeth.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE PROCEDURE
Understanding the process beforehand can help you make a decision about your needs. Our dentist’s are more than happy to explain the dental implant procedure. Majorly divided in sub categories:
Planning the treatment: Your treatment will be carefully planned by taking x-rays and 3D images of your mouth. Digital imaging helps visualize the health of your jawbone for proper implant placement.
Placement of Implant: After numbing your gums, your surgeon will position the implant post precisely in your jawbone. After that sutures and a healing cap are placed at the surgical site to let the area heal.
Healing: Healing and integration of an implant takes 3-6 months. During healing, the bio compatible implant fuses with the jawbone to form a stable foundation just like your natural tooth root.
Abutment placement: Minor surgery is performed to attach a connector that attaches the implant post to a dental crown or any other tooth restoration.
Impression and Crown Placement: The final step of the dental implant is to restore your tooth with a natural-looking dental crown, bridge, or denture. Impressions are made and sent to the lab. The dental lab fabricates the crown which will fit the implant body.
