How Do Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants are small titanium rods that are used to stand in for tooth roots. These tools provide a strong foundation for dental prosthetics to last as long as possible. We will simply remove the damaged areas of your smile and then gradually apply the implant to your jawline. 

Dental implants are built to function identically to a natural tooth root. Your dental implant will gradually adjust to your smile, providing long-term comfort and usability.

The Dental Implant Process

The dental implant process can replace your missing teeth in just a few simple steps:

Consultation and Planning

Drs. Bahr and Segura assess your oral health, bone density, and gum condition to ensure you’re a candidate for implants. Bone grafting may be recommended if bone density is insufficient.

Implant Placement

The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation for comfort.

Healing Period

The implant fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, which takes several months. A temporary restoration may be provided during this time.

Abutment Placement

Once the implant has successfully integrated with the bone, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant post. This serves as the attachment point for the final restoration.

Implant Restoration

A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely placed onto the abutment. This implant restoration is designed to match the look and function of your natural teeth.

Final Results

After the restoration is attached, your new teeth provide long-lasting stability, allowing you to speak, chew, and smile with confidence.

Taking Care of Dental Implants

Dental implants require the same amount of attention as your original smile: brush and floss daily and stay on top of your biannual dental checkups. To help your crowns and dentures last even longer, avoid chewing on hard non-food objects, such as ice or pens or opening packages with your teeth. Also, consider wearing mouth guards during athletic activities or while asleep to protect against teeth grinding.
