Dental Implants: Everything You Should Know

If you are missing a tooth, or even multiple teeth, dental implants may be your ideal solution. These advanced restorations are widely considered the most effective tooth replacement method in the modern dental world.

Consisting of a titanium post embedded into the jaw and a custom-crafted dental crown on top, dental implants can be sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting. They can make it possible to chew, bite, and smile just as you always did.

Dental Implant Procedures

1. Consultation, Scanning and Planning

Initial consultation with Dr. Sia Abai is followed by scans to check for bone density. Then, a carefully thought-out treatment plan—which spells the difference between success and failure—is put together.

2. Dental Implant Placement

Dr. Abai will place the dental implant in the ideal spot and allow the gum tissue to form around the implant.

3. Healing

The bone around the dental implant will grow and integrate with the new dental implant in a matter of a few weeks.

4. Temporary Tooth Replacement

If the dental implant is for a tooth in a visible area, a temporary replacement tooth may be placed for esthetic purposes while the site heals.
