What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, screw-shaped posts that are designed to replace the missing root structure of your teeth. They’re made from titanium, which is a biocompatible material that’s able to naturally fuse with the jawbone. This provides a stable and highly supportive foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or even denture to be attached to. As a result, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that restores the entire structure of missing teeth.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Consultation: The first step of every dental implant process is a consultation with Dr. Sara. She will help determine your candidacy, discuss what the process will look like, and design a custom-tailored treatment plan for you based on your needs. If your missing tooth is in the front, she can discuss temporary options so you don’t have a gap in your smile while you heal.
- Placement: Sara partners with local Glendale specialists for implant placement to make sure you always get the best results.
- Healing: Following your surgery, you will undergo a healing process and osseointegration, which is when the implants will fuse with the jawbone over the course of three to six months. Then, you will return to the specialist to attach small metal connector pieces, called abutments, to the top of them.
- Restoration: After your gums have healed, you will return to our practice for Dr. Sara to restore your dental implant and complete your smile!
