Hear From Dr. Cadwell About Dental Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a modern alternative to removable dentures. In contrast to conventional restorations that lack stability and long-term wear, dental implants are surgically placed to yield sustainable results. Composed of a titanium post fused directly into the jawbone, an abutment, and natural-looking restoration, dental implants permanently restore your smile and improve your oral health.
The Dental Implants Process
The dental implant procedure requires committing to a series of appointments at Tempe Smiles. We employ a multi-step approach, including:
- Initial consultation and oral evaluation
- Personalized treatment planning
- Surgical implant placement
- Permanent restoration placement
- Follow-up care
Dental Implant Surgery: Titanium Post Placement
Once you’ve consulted with our team, you will come in for the first step of your dental implant procedure. This process involves creating an incision in the gums to carefully secure a titanium post into the jawbone. This phase of treatment is performed under local anesthetic.
Healing & Osseointegration
Once the implant post is securely placed and the gums have been sutured, you will begin a healing period that may take up to six months. During this time, a natural process called osseointegration will take place. Osseointegration causes the titanium posts to fully integrate with the jawbone, providing a stable base for your final restoration.
Abutment Placement & Impressions
Once your gums have recovered from the surgical procedure, you will come in for the next step. This appointment involves placing an abutment on the fully healed implant. We will then take impressions of your mouth to create a custom restoration.
Final Step of the Dental Implant Process
The exact number of visits for a dental implant procedure varies by patient. However, the final step always involves securing the permanent crowns to the abutment. By this appointment, our team will have ensured that your new restoration is a perfect fit and that you are satisfied with the outcome.
