What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the only known root-to-crown tooth replacement. Offering the same level of stimulation and stability as natural teeth, they are surgically placed within the jawbone and can last a lifetime with proper care. Their versatility makes them suitable for supporting crowns, bridges, and dentures, even All-On-4.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Consultation – You must first schedule a consultation with Dr. Veazey-Georges. Here, you will learn if you can immediately receive dental implants or if you require additional care, such as bone grafting, gum disease treatment, etc. In some cases, we may be able to suggest All-On-4 implants to avoid a grafting or sinus lift procedure.
- Dental Implant Surgery – We partner with outside dental implant specialists so that your posts can be positioned and placed appropriately. Using local anesthesia, you will feel nothing throughout your procedure.
- Osseointegration/Abutment – Once your healing caps are in place, we will send you home to recover for 4-6 months. Osseointegration will occur during this time, effectively fusing the implants with the bone tissues. Once you’re fully recovered, you will receive your metal abutments, which are attachments that hold the restoration to the implant.
- Delivery of the Final Restoration – To complete the dental implant process, you will receive your custom crown, bridge, or denture, which will be secured on top of your implant posts.
