All You Need to Know About Dental Implant Treatment

If you are interested in replacing your missing tooth with a dental implant but you’re not sure what the treatment process entails, our [practice_name] team is more than happy to inform you!

Dental implants in [city], [state], are strong dental restorations that provide long-term, beautiful results. The treatment might require some time, but it is definitely worth it. When you are receiving a dental implant, you will undergo the following steps:

Step 1: In order to have dental implants, you need strong and healthy gums and jawbones. So, the first step will be an examination. Your dentist will thoroughly examine your entire oral cavity, which may include taking a series of X-rays. If your mouth is in top-notch condition, your dentist will create a treatment plan just for you.

Step 2: To begin treatment, you will first see an oral surgeon. The surgeon will place a small post into the bone socket of your missing tooth. The post is made of titanium, which is a material that works well with your jawbone. The bone will need to heal around the post, which could take about six to twelve weeks.

Step 3: Once your bone has healed around the post, you will come into [practice_name] and your dentist will attach a small connector post to the titanium post to securely hold the new tooth. Then, [heshe] will create a dental crown that will fit perfectly in your smile. When the crown is ready, it will be placed over the post.
