Understanding Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants are a cutting-edge solution for replacing missing teeth. The placement process involves the surgical insertion of titanium implant posts into the jawbone, which serve as strong and stable foundations for prosthetic teeth. Dental implants offer:
Permanent Solution Implants fuse with the jawbone over time, providing a long-lasting and stable foundation for replacement teeth.
Natural Appearance Implant-supported restorations look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile's aesthetics.
Improved Functionality Dental implants restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak confidently, without the worry of slipping or discomfort.
The Dental Implant Placement Process
At Highland Hills Dental Centre, we follow a precise process to ensure successful dental implant placement:
Initial Consultation We evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and take X-rays or 3D scans to assess bone density and suitability for implants.
Surgical Placement: During the procedure, the implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone. Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort.
Osseointegration Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring stability.
Abutment Placement Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as the connection point for the prosthetic tooth.
Prosthetic Attachment The final step involves attaching a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the abutment, creating a natural-looking and functional restoration.
