What Are Dental Implants?
Tooth loss occurs due to periodontal disease, tooth decay, or injury. Previously, bridges and dentures were your only options. Cosmetic dentistry has developed the dental implant procedure to mimic natural teeth and reduce or eliminate many drawbacks of more traditional tooth replacement procedures.
Tooth implants can replace one or more teeth. Because it replaces the tooth root, it provides a strong foundation for permanent teeth or removable teeth. Your local dentist ensures the artificial crown matches your existing teeth.
Orthodontists are using mini implants more often as a technique for straightening teeth. Small and temporarily fixed to the bone, they act as anchors to move teeth to the desired position. Unlike other affordable teeth implants, mini implants are removed once they’ve done their job.

What Does a Dental Implant Procedure Entail?
Whether you need a single or full dental implant, the procedure is the same:

Our dentist assesses your condition and needs to develop a tailored treatment plan.
If you have any remaining tooth root, it must be removed through a root canal.
If you need a bone graft because you have insufficient bone for the implant to adhere to, this surgery is scheduled before the dental implants procedure. It takes two to six months for you to heal.
Your local dentist places a small titanium post in the bone socket of the missing tooth or teeth. The bone heals and grows around the post, usually 12 weeks.
Once healed, your dentist places an abutment, a connector post, onto the titanium post in your jaw.
Your dentist makes impressions and creates a model of your bite to fit the new crown.
The replacement tooth, or crown, is cemented to the abutment.
If you’re receiving detachable or removable dentures, attachments on the abutment support them.

You’re given a local anesthetic to insert the root implant. Most people report minimal discomfort during the installation process, easily controlled by over-the-counter medications. Since there’s no root or root nerve, many say they experience less pain than a tooth extraction. Regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash are all that is needed for aftercare.
