Dental Implant

A dental implant is a sophisticated tooth replacement option designed to mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth.

Process

The process of getting a dental implant typically involves several stages. First, the dentist evaluates the patient’s and bone structure to determine if they are a suitable candidate. If the patient has insufficient bone density, the dentist may graft additional bone widen the jawbone before implant placement.

Once the jawbone is prepared, the dental implant is surgically placed into the bone. Over the following weeks to months, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone.

After the implant has fully fused with the jawbone, the dentist will attach an abutment to the implant. Finally, the abutment will attach the implant to a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. Patients can then use the implants to chew, eat and smile.

Benefits

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and oral health. They also help prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure, providing long-term stability and durability. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth.
