What Is a Dental Implant?
Dental Implants are artificial metal posts that are permanently anchored to the jaw bone. These tooth roots are where the replacement teeth will be added. Dental implants are ideal replacement for failing teeth or missing teeth because of its longevity, strength, and natural appearance. Unlike dentures, implants have strong bases which means there will be no movement of slippage.
What To Expect With Dental Implants
Typically, dental implant surgery is an ambulatory procedure carried out in a series of stages, with intervals for healing between each step. The process of installing a dental implant involves several sequential actions, which include:
1) Extraction of the damaged tooth
2) Preparation of the jawbone, which may involve grafting if necessary
3) Placement of the dental implant
4) Bone growth and healing
5) Placement of the abutment
6) Attachment of the artificial tooth
The entire process can span several months from initiation to completion. A significant portion of this duration is dedicated to recuperation and waiting for new bone growth in the jaw. Depending on your specific circumstances, certain steps can be occasionally combined based on the procedure performed or the materials utilized.
