What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small rods made from biocompatible materials like titanium that are used to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are unlike other restoration options in that they can mimic the natural root system of teeth since the posts are capable of fusing with bone. After these posts have been surgically embedded into the jawbone and fused with it, they can be topped with custom-made replacement teeth to restore any number of missing pearly whites!
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Consultation – During your consultation, our team will examine your jawbone to see if dental implants are a good option for you. Typically, this involves taking X-rays to determine the density of the jawbone, as well as an assessment of your gum health and general oral wellness, since dental implants need healthy circumstances to thrive.
- Dental Implant Surgery – Our team can complete the whole implant placement process in our office, meaning you don’t have to coordinate with other offices and schedule additional appointments.
- Osseointegration – Your mouth will need to heal for a few months after we’ve placed your implants. This part of the process is called osseointegration, and it sets your implants up for future stability. After this, we can call you back to attach abutment pieces to your implant posts.
- Delivery of Restoration(s) – Finally, your customized restoration can be attached to your implants once it has been delivered. These teeth will look, feel, and function just like your original ones, assuming they’re cared for!
Benefits of Dental Implants
When you receive dental implants, you’re receiving perhaps the most advanced and capable tooth replacement option out there. Not only do the restorations receive a durable and reliable replacement root system, but these posts also stimulate the patient’s jawbone and prevent it from deteriorating. Better yet, a patient’s bite force is restored by up to 80%! The restorations won’t slip or move around like dentures, won’t require any specialized products or cleaning methods, and should serve patients well for decades.
Bone Grafting Available
Some patients aren’t immediately ready to receive dental implants due to a lack of sufficient jawbone density. Fortunately, our very own Dr. Calderon is one of the very best when it comes to bone grafting! He’ll be able to complete the entire bone graft procedure here, so you don’t have to worry about coordinating with another team or office. Once your jawbone is grafted, healed, and ready to go, you’ll be able to receive your implants from the very same team!
