What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, it provides a strong, stable foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge or denture. Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they look, feel and function like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Restore the appearance of your natural smile
- Preserve jawbone density and prevent bone loss
- Do not require alteration of adjacent healthy teeth
- Provide a permanent, long-lasting solution for missing teeth
- Improve chewing ability and speech clarity
- Easy to care for with regular brushing and flossing
The Implant Placement Process
The dental implant process typically involves several stages:
- Consultation and planning: Dr. Ken Cheng or Dr. Chan Chan will evaluate your oral health, take digital X-rays and develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Implant placement: The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone during a comfortable, minimally invasive procedure.
- Healing period: Over the next several months, the implant fuses with the jawbone to create a secure anchor. A temporary restoration may be placed during this time.
- Abutment and restoration: Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant and a custom crown is placed on top, completing your new smile.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with good general health and adequate jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, we will assess your specific situation and discuss whether implants are the right option for you. Factors we consider include your overall health, bone density, gum health and personal goals for your smile.
