What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium, screw-like posts that act like natural tooth roots by fusing with and delivering stimulation to the jawbone. They are topped with a custom restoration, making it possible to replace both the roots and crowns of teeth. Unlike dentures and dental bridges, these prosthetics are considered permanent replacements and can potentially last a lifetime.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
The typical dental implant process follows the same four steps: initial consultation, dental implant surgery, osseointegration and abutment placement, and receiving the final restoration.
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – Dr. Seredynski will meet with you during a scheduled consultation to discuss aspects of your oral and overall health. He will examine your jawbone to determine if it’s dense enough to support these titanium posts. If existing gum disease, tooth decay, or bone resorption are evident, additional treatment will be required before undergoing dental implant surgery.
- Dental Implant Surgery – Once you are ready for the next phase of treatment, Dr. Seredynski will refer you to a local specialist who will carefully place and position each implant along your jawbone. The procedure will include local anesthesia as well as opening your gums to insert the titanium posts. When finished, they will close your gum tissues and place protective healing caps over the surgical areas.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – Recovery is a vital part of treatment, especially since your implants will need time to fuse with the jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, can take 4-6 months to complete. Once Dr. Seredynski believes your implants are ready, you will receive the metal abutments that must be attached to your posts to ensure the restoration remains firmly in place.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – During an earlier stage of treatment, Dr. Seredynski will take an impression of your teeth and have lab technicians build a new crown, bridge, or denture. Once it is ready and returned to our dental office, we will secure it in place on top of your implants, creating a complete smile from root to crown.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Whether you are sure you want to move forward with dental implants or you are still weighing your options, it is impossible to dismiss the many benefits you can expect to receive with these prosthetics, including:
- Greater jawbone stimulation that reduces the chances of further bone and tooth loss as well as facial sagging
- A more youthful, natural-looking appearance that allows for boosted confidence and improved mental, physical, and emotional health
- The ability to eat all types of nutritious foods thanks to the nearly 80% bite force that is restored
- Better oral health by minimizing the potential for dental drift
- Prosthetics that replace the roots and crowns of missing teeth and can last 30+ years or even a lifetime
