The journey to a restored smile is a partnership, and we are committed to providing clear, comprehensive information about your options, including affordable dental implants.
The Step-by-Step Process of Getting Dental Implants
Your Initial Consultation and Assessment
The first step is a thorough consultation where we assess your oral health and discuss your goals. We will take detailed scans to evaluate your jawbone density, which is crucial for supporting mini or full dental implants. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan and determine if you are a candidate for dental implants.
The Implant Placement Procedure
Next is the placement of the implant, we place a small titanium post that acts as a new tooth root. This procedure is performed with precision and care to ensure your comfort. Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for your new teeth.
Healing and Creating Your New Teeth
Once the implant has integrated, we take impressions of your mouth to craft your custom implant. Our focus is on creating a result that looks and feels natural, matching your existing teeth perfectly. We ensure that your new smile is beautiful, functional, and comfortable for everyday life.
The Final Restoration
This is the exciting final step where we attach your new, custom-made tooth or teeth to the implant. If you have chosen mini dental implants or full dental implants, we make precise adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and a comfortable bite. You will leave our office with a restored, confident smile that can last a lifetime.
We believe everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of. From the initial consultation to fitting your final permanent dental implants, our team is here for you. Learn how Your Neighborhood Dentist can help you on your journey to a renewed smile by scheduling a consultation with us today.
