The Process of Getting a Dental Implant
The single implant process is straightforward and can be done under sleep dentistry for patients who experience dental anxiety. Here's what you can expect:
First, we will assess your oral health and take X-rays to ensure you have enough bone density to support the implant. During the procedure, the titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone. After placing the implant, it takes a few months for the post to fully integrate with the jawbone. This is a crucial step to ensure the stability of the implant. Once the implant has fused with your jaw, an abutment is placed on top of the implant, which acts as the connection between the implant and the crown. The final crown, custom-made to match your natural teeth, is attached to the abutment. Once complete, the implant is indistinguishable from your natural teeth. It functions just like a real tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Why You Might Need a Single Implant
Single implants are a highly effective and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement, but you might wonder if they're the right choice for you. The reason why you might need a dental implant include, missing one or more teeth, damaged or severely decayed teeth, improve jawbone health, restore full functionality of your mouth, enhance your smile aesthetically or support other dental work.
