How Dental Implants Work
Dental implant surgery is performed right in our office in [city], [state], and [doctor] offers sedation dentistry to make your visit as comfortable and painless as possible. [doctor] places hundreds of dental implants a year so you know you will be working with an experienced implant dentist. The surgery involves fusing the base of the dental implant with the jaw bone using a special surgery technique. [doctor] will need to make a small opening in the gums to access the jaw bone and once the base of the implant is placed successfully, the treatment area is closed up with sutures. The healing phase for dental implants can take several months because this is the period of time where the base of the implant fully attaches to the jaw bone. This process is called osseointegration and the amount of time this takes can vary from patient to patient. Once fully healed, [doctor] can complete the restoration process that involves placing the crown on top of the implant. If you are getting implant supported dentures or full arch implants, he will attach the dentures or the fabricated teeth to the implant.
