What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, screw-like titanium posts that are surgically placed below the gumline to restore the roots of your missing teeth. Whether you’re missing one, several, or all of your teeth, dental implants are able to rebuild their entire structure from the ground up, providing unmatched strength and stability. After the implants are placed, they naturally begin a process called osseointegration, where they fuse with the bone. This allows them to act as an unwavering foundation for any type of restoration to be attached to.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Consultation: Dr. Thomas and our team at Elora Dental Studio will help you determine whether dental implants are right for you. We’ll capture diagnostic images of your mouth, and Dr. Thomas will complete a thorough examination of your health history, teeth, and gums. If you’re a good candidate for the treatment, we’ll create a plan for you as well as answer any questions you may have so you feel confident moving forward with the procedure.
- Placement: We partner with local dental implant experts for the surgical placement part of your process. This will include visiting another team to have your implants secured within your jawbone.
- Healing: After your surgery, your gums will begin to heal around your implants and your implants will start the process of osseointegration. This occurs over the following three to six months, when your implants will fuse with the jawbone. After osseointegration is complete, we’ll then attach small metal connector pieces to the top of your implants, called abutments.
- Restoration: After our team receives your final restoration from our dental laboratory, we’ll call you back in to attach your crown, bridge, or denture to your implants and complete the process!
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants boast a number of benefits that make them well worth their investment. In addition to results that are aesthetically pleasing, your replacement teeth will feel completely natural. You’ll never have to experience shifting or slipping restorations, and you can enjoy improved chewing function, allowing you to eat all of your favorite foods. In addition, replacing missing teeth can help point your oral health on an upward trajectory by minimizing your risk of experiencing further tooth loss.
