Getting dental implants is a multi-step journey that prioritizes precision and long-term success. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
- Consultation & Imaging: We assess your mouth, bone, and implant candidacy using advanced technology.
- Implant Placement: During a minor implant surgery, titanium posts are secured into your jawbone.
- Healing Phase: Over several weeks, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a strong foundation.
- Abutment & Restoration: A dental crown or bridge is placed to complete your smile with a natural look.
Each implant procedure is carefully tailored to your health, needs, and implant treatment timeline.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Not everyone is immediately ready for implants, but many people are surprised to learn they qualify with a few small steps. Ideal candidates for dental implants typically have:
- Healthy gums and good oral health overall
- Enough bone density to support the implant placement
- A commitment to maintaining implant care and regular checkups
- No untreated conditions like gum disease
Even if you’ve experienced bone loss or wear dentures, additional procedures like bone grafting may help prepare your mouth for implant treatment.
