Actual Patient Before And After Results

What is the process of getting dental implants?

Do you want to rebuild your smile with dental implants? We have refined the procedure over the years to ensure you enjoy a seamless treatment. We want your dental experience to be smooth and comfortable from start to finish in our spa-like office.

Here’s what you can expect from the dental implant treatment.

• Initial consultation: Whether you want to replace one or more teeth, your treatment always starts with a consultation. We’ll perform a preliminary exam, discuss your smile goals, and answer any questions you may have. We’ll also explain what to expect from dental implants, including timelines, benefits, and costs.
• Treatment planning: We’ll use digital X-rays and 3D CT scans of your mouth to better understand your smile. If you have jawbone loss, we’ll try to take advantage of the available bone. However, sometimes, you may need to stabilize your bone with a dental bone graft. Similarly, failing teeth will require extraction to create space for predictable dental implants.
• Placing implants: It’s time for Dr. Skovron to showcase her oral surgeon skills. After numbing your gums with powerful anesthetics, the dentist will place a “tissue-friendly” titanium post at an ideal location in the jawbone. We use 3D-guided surgery to place your implant with accuracy and efficiency, ensuring your implant is optimally positioned in relation to your nerves, sinuses, and other vital structures. After placement, we’ll clean and suture the implant site to kickstart healing.
• Healing and integration: You’ll need a 3-6 month break to allow the implant to fuse with the jawbone to form a strong bond. Follow your doctor’s instructions during this healing phase to avoid implant failure. Observe optimal oral hygiene, adhere to follow-up appointments, and quit smoking.
• Abutment placement: The dentist performs minor surgery to attach a small prosthetic device to your titanium root. This procedure only requires two weeks to heal. This metal connector called an abutment, connects your implant fixture to the final restoration.
• Implant restoration: We’ll top off your implant with a custom-fitted dental crown. Your dental crown becomes your implant’s visible and functional component, restoring your smile’s function and aesthetics.

Are dental implants worth it?

Your dental implant has a structure similar to your natural teeth—both have a crown and a root structure. The only difference is that an implant is created from time-tested artificial materials.

Because of the unique dental implant design, these teeth replacements offer life-changing benefits. Dental implants have been a trusted, life-looking, and durable option to replace failing or missing teeth since the 1960s. Whether you want to replace one or more teeth, dental implants offer the best aesthetic and functional results.
