Dental Implants: FAQ
What are A Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement option that uses Titanium metal posts to replace your natural tooth roots. An artificial porcelain crown is installed on the portion of the post (abutment) that extends from your gum tissue. This process takes between 2-5 visits depending on your case severity.
What is the process of getting Dental Implants?
The process of getting dental implants requires multiple office visits and a degree of patience as your body heals. The implants are positioned during one appointment, followed by around four months of healing. Once your bone tissue has fused to the implant material, you’ll return to have the crown portion of the implant attached to the post.
How can I prepare for dental implants?
As you prepare for your procedure, it is critical that you share the full details of your health history with us, including any medications or supplements you are taking. You should also be prepared to follow all post-operative instructions to reduce the risk of infection.
If you are a smoker, make every effort to quit in advance of your implant procedure. Smoking impedes your body’s ability to heal and is also incredibly harmful to your gum tissue.

Dental Implant is a “second permanent tooth”
According to American Dental Association, dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth. They are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile. In fact, the development and use of implants is one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years. A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge or a denture.
Reasons why we recommend dental implants
- Feels like a natural tooth
- Dental implants are a long term solution
- Retain your natural smile
- Relief from discomfort of wearing dentures
- Protection of adjacent teeth
- More predictable
What is the procedure for Dental Implants?
Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth or all the teeth in the case of implant supported crowns, bridges or dentures. Generally, there are three steps to getting a dental implant. The process starts with treatment planning (stage 1), surgical (stage 2), bone to implant fusion (stage 3), applying the treatment plan stage (stage 4).
After treatment planning (stage 1) the dentist places the implant surgically in the jawbone (stage 2). This is followed by a period of “osseointegration” which means “combining with bone” and this process takes time (stage 3). During this stage the implant becomes permanently stable as bone grows to the surface of the implant. The final step is the prosthetic phase which starts when the implant is well integrated with the bone and this involves restoring the implant with a crown, bridge or a denture depending on the treatment plan (stage 4). The prosthetic phase of restoring a dental implant requires the equal amount of expertise as surgically placing the implant because of the various biomechanical considerations.
Dental implants are the new standard of care for tooth replacement. Because your teeth affect everything from your smile and confidence, to your ability to eat, speak and participate in the activities you enjoy. Because there is no better option to restore missing teeth, dental implants are an investment well worth considering.

3. The Porcelain Crown: As hard, if not harder than a real tooth the porcelain crown top off the dental implant providing for a strong and elegantly rooted and naturally looking tooth

Additional steps
BONE GRAFTING
Bone grafting is the process of using your own bone to replace missing bone. Consider this, it is natural for a person to lose bone around a missing tooth. However, before implants can be placed the bone must be strengthened. Your bone tissue is used to fill the void left by the missing tooth/teeth. After about 2-4 months the bone will grown back. As a result of bone grafting, there is a much higher rate of implant(s) success.
