A dental implant “roots” itself through a process called osseointegration. After the titanium implant is placed into the jawbone, the bone gradually heals and grows tightly around its surface. Titanium is biocompatible, so the body accepts it rather than rejecting it. Over several months, the bone cells bond directly to the implant, anchoring it firmly in place and allowing it to function much like a natural tooth root.

Dental implant placement is a multi-step process that typically takes around 3 months from start to finish, depending on the patient’s oral health and upkeep. Once the jawbone is ready, the implant is surgically placed into the bone during a procedure that typically lasts one to two hours. After placement, the implant must fuse to the jawbone, a healing phase during which the implant fuses with the jawbone. Finally, a custom crown is fabricated and attached to the implant over one or two visits, completing the restoration. Overall, a straightforward dental implant case may take three to six months, while more complex cases requiring bone grafting or additional healing can take six to twelve months or longer.

Dental implants usually cause less pain than many people expect. During the procedure, local anesthesia is used, so you should not feel pain, only some pressure. After the surgery, mild to moderate discomfort, swelling, or soreness is common for a few days, but it is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients report that implant pain is similar to or less than a tooth extraction, and it gradually improves as healing progresses.

Dental implants are a modern and reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root that supports a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants restore function, improve appearance, and help preserve jawbone structure, offering a long-lasting and natural-feeling alternative to traditional tooth replacement options.

A dental implant works to replace a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. The implant itself is a small metal post, usually made of titanium, that a dental surgeon places into a patient's jawbone. This post acts like the root of a tooth, and integrates itself into the jawbone. After it heals, a fake tooth, often called a crown, is attached on top. The implant stays in place, looks like a real tooth, and helps you chew, talk, and smile normally. If a missing tooth has compromised your health and confidence, schedule a free consultation with Copper Basin to see if implants can help you get back to feeling your best!
