When to Consider Dental Implants

You might consider dental implants if you experience any of the following:

Missing One or More Teeth

Whether you’ve lost teeth due to decay, periodontal disease, or injury, dental implants can offer a permanent solution.

Troubles with Existing Dental Prosthetics

If you have dentures or bridges that slip or cause discomfort, implants can provide a more stable and comfortable alternative.

Want a Durable Tooth Replacement

For those looking for a long-term solution with the potential to last a lifetime, dental implants are an excellent choice.

The Dental Implant Process Explained

Initial Consultation

It starts with a consultation at Doctor Patty Dental, where Dr. Patty will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. This includes discussing your medical history, taking X-rays, and possibly conducting a CT scan to assess the quality and density of your jawbone, ensuring it can support implants.

Treatment Planning

Dr. Patty will tailor a detailed treatment plan, outlining each step from implant placement to the final restoration. The plan will consider factors like the number of teeth to be replaced and the condition of your jawbone.

Implant Placement

The next step involves the surgical placement of the implant into your jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and various sedation options are available to ensure your comfort. After the implant is placed, a period of healing, known as osseointegration, begins, allowing the implant to bond with the bone securely.

Abutment Placement and Impressions

Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the post. This serves as the base for your new tooth. After the abutment is placed, impressions of your teeth are taken, which will be used to create your custom-made crown.

Crown Attachment

The final step is the attachment of the crown. This prosthetic tooth is crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.

Follow-Up Care

Dr. Patty will schedule follow-up visits to ensure the implant is functioning well and that your oral health remains at its best.
