What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of three parts: the titanium post (root), the metal abutment (attachment), and the restoration (the crown, bridge, or denture). When combined, they create a replacement tooth that functions like normal. The post is placed into the jawbone where it fuses to create a strong foundation for the restoration, which is connected on top to fill in the gaps left behind by missing teeth.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – You will meet with Dr. Mandi to discuss your interest and candidacy for dental implants. After examining your mouth and going over your medical history, she will determine if additional treatments are required before moving forward with dental implant surgery.
- Dental Implant Surgery – Once you are cleared for your procedure, we will refer you to an outside specialist in the area who will place and position each implant into its designated spot, establishing the foundation for your new smile.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration / Abutment – You will have protective healing caps placed over your posts before returning home to recover. Within a 4-6-month timeframe, osseointegration will occur, a natural process where the implants and jawbone fuse. When you’re fully healed, you’ll have your metal abutments attached to the top of your posts in preparation for your customized restoration.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – After a few weeks, Dr. Mandi will secure your custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture into place on top of your dental implant post. This will complete the process, allowing you to begin enjoying your new smile and its many benefits.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Dental implants provide continuous stimulation to the jawbone, reducing the potential for bone resorption (shrinking) in the future as well as additional tooth loss.
- They offer maximum stability so that you do not need to worry about your teeth shifting or moving around inside your mouth.
- Dental implants have a lifespan of 30+ years, with some cases never needing replacement.
- These prosthetics are easy to maintain, as you clean them just as you do your natural teeth. This allows for better oral health in the long run.
