What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is actually a small titanium post that is positioned within the jaw to act like a new tooth root. Once there, it bonds with the bone through a natural process called osseointegration. This is the key to implants’ strength. It can be topped with a crown, bridge, or denture depending on the patient’s need, and to the casual observer, it will just look like the person has an attractive, full smile.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation: Are dental implants a good option for you? Dr. Hayley Patterson will give you an exam and discuss the different replacement options we offer so you can decide which is best for your situation.
- Dental Implant Surgery: If you decide to get dental implants, you’ll be referred to a local oral surgeon to perform the placement surgery. This ensures the highest chance of success as well as guarantees your comfort throughout the process.
- Healing Period: Over the next three to six months, your implants will become one with your jawbone. Once they are ready, an abutment will be attached to them, which will serve as the connector to your new teeth.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s): The big day has arrived! We will place your new, custom-made teeth onto your implants, and then your new smile is ready for the world.
