What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that's placed into your jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. It then integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, and a custom restoration, like a crown, bridge, or denture, is attached on top. This creates a permanent replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like the real thing!
The Dental Implant Process
First, our team assesses your mouth using our advanced imaging technology. This allows us to come up with an individualized plan for your smile. In most cases, the next step is in-house implant placement. However, for All-on-4 implants, we partner with trusted oral surgeons and handle the restoration ourselves.
Next comes healing and osseointegration—a process that usually takes a few months to complete. Once the post fuses with your jawbone, we attach your restoration to complete your new smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implants do so much more than just fill a gap!
- Restore Strength: Dental implants return 70% to 80% of your biting force, so you can chew more foods.
- Improve Longevity: With proper care, dental implant restorations can last decades—or a lifetime in some cases!
- Bone Preservation: They prevent jawbone loss that usually follows tooth extraction.
- Maintain Space: Implants keep surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
