What Are Dental Implants?
When looking at a tooth, you will notice there is a root and a crown. The same is true for a dental implant, only its parts are referred to as the post and the restoration. The titanium post acts just like a natural tooth root in that it lives within the jawbone and delivers stimulation to keep healthy teeth and facial features in place. The custom restoration can be a crown, bridge, or denture that is secured on top with the help of a metal abutment (attachment) to create a full, complete smile.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – When scheduling a consultation with Dr. Thore, you can expect to go over your medical history as well as undergo a full examination to determine if you can immediately move forward with dental implant surgery or if you require preliminary treatments first.
- Dental Implant Surgery – Dr. Thore partners with local specialists in the area who will place your dental implants into the appropriate areas of your jawbone so that they deliver maximum support over time.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – The osseointegration process begins the moment your implants are positioned within the bone. This can take 4-6 months to complete. You will then receive your metal abutments, which are attached to the tops of your implants and can take about two weeks to heal.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – We will capture an impression of your smile early on so that your new teeth will be ready to put in place during the final phase of treatment.
Benefits of Dental Implants
From the benefits you can expect to see day to day to those that positively impact your overall health and long-term well-being, there are many unique advantages to choosing dental implants. Many patients find that they can freely eat all their favorite foods as well as smile with greater confidence. Additionally, these prosthetics are known to remain in place for decades or even a lifetime because of how easy they are to maintain.
