What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants don’t work like dentures and dental bridges do. Rather than sit above the gumline, these posts extend beneath the gums and fit within your jawbone. This design lets them fuse with nearby bone tissue to become permanent parts of your mouth. From there, they stimulate your jaw to prevent facial collapse while supporting your final restoration. They can even last a lifetime if you give them proper maintenance and care.

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants is a complex process with multiple steps, including:

  • Initial Dental Implant Consultation – At your first visit, our dentists will assess your oral health to see if dental implants suit you. We can also suggest (and plan) preliminary procedures if you don’t initially qualify.
  • Dental Implant Surgery – We’ll carefully place your dental implant during surgery using advanced dental tools.
  • Dental Implant Osseointegration & Abutment – Your jawbone will slowly fuse with the implant through osseointegration, ensuring it stays in place. Once this fusion occurs over four to six months, we’ll place an abutment that connects to your final restoration.
  • Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – After you’ve adjusted to your abutment, we’ll affix your final restoration to it. This product is normally a dental crown, bridge, or implant denture. When it’s fully set, you’ll have lifelike results that blend with your smile.
