Dental implants have many advantages compared to other restorations, but what you probably really want to know is what can you expect during the procedure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dental Implants: What to Expect<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assessment and Preparation of Your Jawbone<\/h3>\n

The first step to getting dental implants is concluding if you\u2019re dental problem will truly be solved with dental implants or not during your first dental appointment. Your dentist will mostly base this decision off the health of your jawbone. You jawbone needs to be able to hold onto, adjust, and stabilize the dental implant posts.<\/p>\n

If your jawbone holds adequate strength, then you\u2019ll move right along to step two. If your jaw bone isn\u2019t strong enough, you may need a bone grafting procedure to recreate healthy jawbone density.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Placing the Implant Posts.<\/h3>\n

During this step, either Dr. Combs or Dr. White<\/a> will strategically place your dental implant posts within your jawbone. This sounds painful, but with the help of a local anesthetic and pain medications, this step will be practically painless! These biocompatible implant posts will fuse to your jawbone naturally with a process called osseointergration<\/a> over the course of 3 to 6 months.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Choosing Your Dental Prosthetic.<\/h3>\n

Once your implant post has completely healed and abutment placed, your dentist will discuss the type of tooth replacement options you have. This is the most exciting part for most patients because they will finally be able to see the anticipated results! You and either of our dentists will discuss rather a removable dental prosthetics is best for you or a fixed implant restoration.<\/p>\n

Dental Implants Are the Best Choice<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve been looking for tooth replacement options, many resources may have pointed you to traditional replacements like dentures, crowns, or dental bridges. Although these replacements are effective in their own way, they only replace the visible portion of your tooth.<\/p>\n

What about the other important half of your tooth\u2014the root? Your tooth root keeps your jawbone stimulated and strong. Without one, patients experience bone deterioration over time. This can lead to an increased risk of infections, tooth loss, and a general decline in overall oral health. Thankfully, dental implants mimic the entire structure of a tooth. By replacing your teeth from root to crown, dental crowns encouraging the growth of new bone tissue and rejuvenate your smile.<\/p>\n
