Dental implant treatment is a surgical procedure that involves replacing missing or damaged teeth with artificial teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. A dental implant is a small metal post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as the foundation for a replacement tooth or a bridge.
The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps. First, the dentist will evaluate the patient’s oral health and determine whether they are a candidate for dental implants. This may involve taking X-rays or other imaging tests to assess the health of the jawbone and the surrounding teeth and gums.
If the patient is a candidate for dental implants, the next step is to surgically place the implant post into the jawbone. This involves making a small incision in the gum tissue and carefully drilling a hole into the bone. The implant post is then inserted into the hole and secured in place.
After the implant post has been placed, the patient will typically need to wait several weeks or months to allow the jawbone to heal and the implant to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a replacement tooth or bridge can be attached to the implant post.
The replacement tooth or bridge is typically made of a durable and natural-looking material such as ceramic or porcelain. It is custom-made to match the size, shape, and color of the patient’s natural teeth for a seamless and natural-looking result.
Dental implant treatment can be a highly effective way to replace missing or damaged teeth and restore a person’s smile and oral function. However, it is important to note that dental implant treatment is a surgical procedure and requires careful planning, preparation, and aftercare to ensure a successful outcome.
