What Is a Dental Implants?
A Strong Foundation for Your New Smile
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once secured, it provides a sturdy anchor for:
Unlike traditional restorations, implants fuse with your jawbone, offering unmatched stability and a natural feel.
A Three-Step Process for Lasting Results
How Are Dental Implants Placed?
Here’s what you can expect during your dental implant treatment:
1.
Placement of the Implant Post
- Dr. Chu inserts the titanium post into your jawbone. If your jawbone lacks density, a bone graft may be performed simultaneously to ensure proper support.
- The post is left to heal for several weeks, allowing the bone to fuse naturally for a secure fit.
2.
Attachment of the Abutment
- At your second visit, an abutment is attached to the implant. This piece serves as the connector between the implant and your custom restoration.
- Impressions are taken and sent to a specialized lab to create a restoration that matches your natural teeth.
3.
Final Restoration Placement
- The custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the abutment.
- Dr. Chu adjusts and polishes the restoration to ensure it looks and feels perfect.
