What Are Dental Implants?

Allow us to introduce you to the ideal solution to restore your missing teeth: dental implants. While there are other options for replacing teeth (dentures and bridges), implants are the only solution capable of restoring the entire tooth structure. Not only do implants feature a beautiful, custom-made crown, but they act as an artificial tooth root just below the surface. We assure you, this makes a world of difference to your life and smile!

THE IMPLANT PROCESS

At our practice in Chicago, IL, we are able to restore dental implants once they have been surgically placed; this means, we provide the addition of a dental crown or bridge once the implant has been placed and healed. We are also able to replace or repair crowns if they have been damaged or begin to become loose. While we do not place implants in our practice, we believe it’s important for patients to be educated about the entire procedure. For a general overview of implant placement and restoration, please read below:

BEFORE PLACING AN IMPLANT

When you visit an office to have an implant placed, they will typically begin by analyzing your current oral health condition. If they discover the presence of gum disease, loss of bone density, or damage evident in any of your remaining teeth, they will likely request that these problems be addressed before proceeding. This precaution is taken in order to ensure you’re in the best shape for surgery and speedy recovery.

IMPLANT PLACEMENT

Upon determining that your health is in great shape, implant placement surgery will be scheduled. At this time, a doctor will administer an anesthetic to keep you relaxed and comfortable. They will then create a tiny incision in the gum tissue where the implant is to be placed. Following this step, a tiny titanium post (the artificial tooth root) will be embedded into the jawbone. The incision will then be closed and allowed time for healing.

HEALING TIME

You may find this step to be the most frustrating, but we encourage you to have patience! Great things come to those who wait, especially when getting dental implants! Over a period of between three to six months, the titanium implant will begin to fuse to the bone tissue. This creates a stabilized anchor that keeps the full prosthetic as secure as a natural, healthy tooth.

YOUR SMILE RESTORATION

It’s finally time to complete your procedure; that’s where we come in! When you visit us, we will first check the implant post to ensure that the piece is stable. To complete the process, our team will attach an abutment to the post; the abutment is used to create a secure connection between the post and your new crown. Once your crown is created and cemented over the abutment, your implant is finally complete.

THE BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

Interested in learning why dental implants are a great choice? Where do we begin! First of all, if you’re seeking a procedure that lasts a lifetime, this is it! Once an implant is inserted and healed within the jawbone, it’s not going anywhere. As for your future care, you will need to brush and floss normally and replace the crown every 15 years; that’s it! Still not convinced? There’s more:

  • Restores function
  • Appears natural
  • Promotes oral health
