\"dentalDental implants<\/a> are the best tooth replacement option that modern dentistry has to offer. Since they rebuild teeth from the roots up, they are extremely sturdy and long-lasting. They can even help to preserve bone mass and enable your face to retain its lovely shape. What\u2019s more, thanks to sedation dentistry and a dentist\u2019s expert touch, the process for placing and restoring dental implants is relatively comfortable. Would you like to know more about the journey you can expect to take if you choose to receive this treatment? Here is a quick look at the dental implants process from beginning to end.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Consultation and Evaluation<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re first thinking about getting implants, you\u2019ll need to consult with your dentist to find out for sure whether this treatment is right for you. During this appointment, you\u2019ll have an opportunity to ask all your questions about implants. Whether you\u2019re curious about cost, potential risks, the timeline for the treatment or anything else, don\u2019t hesitate to talk about everything that\u2019s on your mind.<\/p>\n

Your dentist will also evaluate your candidacy for implants. If you have adequate bone mass in your jaw and your mouth and body are in fair health, it is likely that you will be able to undergo treatment. If there are some areas of concern \u2014 for example, if you smoke or have a health condition that might slow down healing after surgery \u2014 your dentist will carefully consider your unique circumstances before making a treatment recommendation.<\/p>\n

Placement Surgery and Osseointegration<\/h2>\n

During your placement surgery, your dentist will create small incisions in the gums and carefully insert the implants into your bone. Then, the gums will be closed over the implants. Over the next few months, your body will go through a process known as osseointegration. The implants and the bone around them will fuse together, creating the strongest base possible for your new smile.<\/p>\n

Abutment Placement and Restoration<\/h2>\n

In some cases, a dentist can place healing abutments (small pieces that protect the implants and encourage gum healing during the osseointegration phase) at the same time they place the implants. In other cases, they\u2019ll close the gums over the implants. Later, the final abutments (which attach the implants to the artificial teeth) get placed later on. This is a minor surgery that causes little discomfort.<\/p>\n

Once the abutments are ready, the restoration phase begins. This is when your dentist carefully designs your artificial teeth, whether your restoration is a single crown, a bridge, or a denture. When your new smile is ready, your dentist will attach it to your implants, and you can begin enjoying life with your beautiful, strong, new smile.<\/p>\n

Of course, every implant case is unique, so your journey may be a bit different from what\u2019s discussed in this article. To get a personalized plan for your smile restoration, you\u2019ll need to visit a local implant expert.<\/p>\n
