What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is actually a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone, essentially becoming a new tooth root. There, it undergoes a natural process called osseointegration, bonding with the bone just like a real tooth would. From there, it can be relied on to support a crown, bridge, or denture that can be expected to last for decades.
The 4 Step Dental Implant Process
Dental implants are a complex restoration that involve four main steps. Fortunately, your team in Peabody can complete the entire process in-house, saving you time spent on driving to multiple offices for your treatment. Continuing scrolling to learn more about what your dental implant journey will look like, or contact our office to hear it from us directly! We’ll happily address any questions and concerns you might have as you consider your restoration options.
Initial Dental Implant Consultation
Are dental implants right for you? We can talk about your options at a consultation as well as walk you through what the process will be like for your unique situation. This will include a thorough oral examination, and planning any preliminary treatments you might need to promote a successful dental implant placement (such as gum disease therapy or a bone graft).
Dental Implant Surgery
If you decide to proceed, you’ll have your dental implants placed in our office, meaning you won’t have to visit an outside specialist like with most other practices. We’ll make small incisions in your gumline in order to access your jawbone, then suture them shut once your implant posts are properly situated. Rest assured, the jawbone has very few nerve endings, and we’ll administer a local anesthetic to secure your comfort.
Dental Implant Osseointegration & Abutment Placement
As your mouth heals over the course of three to six months, osseointegration will take place. This is when your jawbone grows to fuse with the biocompatible implant posts and is why dental implants are strong and secure. Eventually, you’ll return to the office so we can attach abutments to your implants (these will serve as connectors to your new teeth).
Delivery of Dental Implant Restorations
In order to fully customize the look and feel of your dental implants, we’ll take impressions of your mouth and send the information to a dental lab. The artful technicians there will carefully craft your implants to fit comfortably and appear as a seamless part of your smile. For your final appointment, we’ll connect your new teeth to your abutments, and your new smile will be ready for the world!
