Surgery requires the placement of prosthetic roots and teeth typically made out of titanium or zirconia. Zirconia ceramic implants have a single-piece design, while titanium implants have multiple pieces including implant, abutment, and crown. Make sure to discuss the right option for you with your dentist.

After that, it heals and integrates for several months. In some cases, a second surgery may be required to put the “post” in place, which holds the artificial tooth in place. Other types have both the post and the anchor attached and implanted simultaneously.

Following Your Procedure

The implant crowns are fabricated and placed to the post component of the anchor after several weeks of recovery. This stage may take a few months to complete due to the need for multiple fittings. The replacement teeth are securely linked to the implant after a healing period, offering exceptional stability and comfort to the patient.

When your treatment is over, you will be given care instructions. Regular dental appointments, coupled with good oral hygiene and dietary habits, will help your new implant last longer.

What Does it Take to Get Dental Implants?

Implant placement is a series of appointments spread out over several months. It all starts with simple X-rays and CT scans of the jaw and teeth. These are used to evaluate the amount of bone, gum, tissue, and spacing available for an implant. If there is a proper bone level, then the implant can be surgically placed into the bone.
