What Are Dental Implants ?

Dental implants are a permanent and appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. They are better than other alternatives like bridges because no additional teeth need to be altered to place the new tooth.

The entire implant process is performed over the course of a few months. The first part of the process is to install the implant itself, where a screw is placed into the jaw bone. An incision is made in the gum so that the implant can be inserted. Multiple implants can be placed at once if necessary. After the implants are placed the gums are sutured.

The implant must be allowed about 3-6 months to heal, and during this time the jaw bone will form around the implant in a process called osseointegration. During this healing time you can have temporary crowns installed so that you can eat and speak normally and maintain a proper aesthetic appearance for your smile.

Step-By-Step Dental Implant Placement Process

The first step in placing your dental implants is an initial consultation at First Dental Implant Center where our dentist will go through your dental history, complete a routine oral examination, get 3D CT scans of your mouth to check the degree of gum and bone loss progression, and finally assess if you are a suitable candidate for the dental implant procedure.

Dr. Kass will also determine if you require any one or more of the following procedures before the implant process can begin:

Do you require Bone Grafting?

Do you require Ridge Preservation?

Do you require a Sinus Lift?

Do you require Sinus Augmentation?

Once our dental team completes its thorough evaluation, they schedule your surgical appointment in which small titanium posts are surgically inserted into your gums and jawbone utilizing a local anesthetic. The implants are re-covered and allowed to heal.

For the next few months, the posts gradually fuse to your gum tissue and bone, ensuring a sturdy base on which your permanent replacement teeth are placed. If the dental implants are in a visible part of your mouth – as in the front – our dentist puts a temporary prosthetic while your customized prosthetics are designed.

Following sufficient healing, your personalized prosthetic teeth are attached to the implants utilizing a small abutment. Now you are free to take advantage all the benefits of your new, shiny, and healthy teeth – eat the food you want and smile and interact with confidence for many years to come.

Cost of dental implants

Seeking a dentist who offers affordable dental implants is understandable. But if a lower price or the cheapest possible dental implants is your sole objective, be ready to face the possibility of a dentist who, in the name of an attractive offer, may use suspect-quality implant material and place the implants poorly – causing costly discomfort in the future and harming your oral health.

At the First Dental Implant Center, we feel that the best way you can receive affordable and long-lasting dental implants is to get the procedure done by a skilled and dependable dentist so that you never face the prospect of costly and time-consuming surgical corrections due to a badly-executed implant procedure or poor-quality implant material.
