Dental implant treatment is a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Implants offer a durable and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures and bridges. Here’s an overview of the process, benefits, and considerations.
The Treatment Process
Consultation and Planning: Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment goals to create a personalized plan.
Implant Placement: The implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia, and you may experience minimal discomfort afterward.
Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the bone heals and integrates with the implant. This process is crucial for stability and durability.
Abutment Placement: Once healed, an abutment (connector) is placed on top of the implant, which will hold the crown or prosthesis.
Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.
