Investing in your smile with this modern restorative procedure will offer you countless benefits, but not knowing exactly what to expect from the process can cause you to feel anxious or worried. To help ease any anxiety you may have, it\u2019s a good idea to have a basic outline of what each of your visits with your dentist will be like along the way. Read on to learn everything there is to know about getting dental implants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Initial Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To start your journey towards a restored smile, you\u2019ll need\nto schedule an initial consultation. During this appointment, your dentist will\nassess your oral health and facial structure to determine whether or not you\u2019re\na good candidate for the procedure. This thorough process helps reduce the\nchances of implant failure and complications that you could experience down the\nroad by making sure that your restorations are secured to a strong and stable\nfoundation. This is also a great chance to ask your implant dentist any\nquestions you may have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Placing Your Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before some patients are able to jump right into their dental\nimplant surgery, they may require preparatory procedures such as a bone graft,\nsinus lift, or periodontal therapy. Once your mouth has healed, your dentist\nwill schedule your implant placement. This is a virtually pain-free and\nminimally invasive procedure that most patients are able to recover from within\na day or two. To place the titanium implants, they\u2019ll make small incisions into\nyour gums. After your surgery, you may experience some soreness and general\ndiscomfort, but typically, it can be relieved with over-the-counter pain\nmedication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healing &amp; Osseointegration Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your surgery, you\u2019ll go through a healing period that\ntakes place over several months. During this time, your implants will fuse with\nyour jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This is one of the most\nimportant parts of the procedure, providing your replacement teeth with an\nunwavering and stable platform to be secured to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Securing Your Replacement Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your implants have successfully fused with your\njawbone, your implant dentist will take impressions of your mouth to send off to\ntheir dental laboratory to craft your restoration. Once it arrives at their\noffice, they\u2019ll schedule your final appointment to secure your crown, bridge,\nor denture to your implants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the several month-long process, you\u2019ll be dawning a\ntransformed and complete set of new teeth that allow you to chew, speak, and\nsmile with confidence. While the procedure may take longer than traditional\nrestorative treatments, patients and professionals will both agree that the\ninvestment of your time is well worth it, because your replacement teeth can\nlast you up to 35 years with the proper maintenance! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Sarah Yarnell is passionate about taking care of her patients\nand optimizing their oral health.
