Dental implants are one of the most reliable and long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. They look, feel, and function much like natural teeth, helping restore both confidence and comfort. At Boisson Dental Group, we guide patients through every step of the dental implant process to ensure the best possible outcome.
If you are considering implants, understanding what to expect can help you feel prepared and confident in your decision.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone to act as the foundation for a replacement tooth. Over time, the bone naturally bonds with the implant, creating a secure and stable base for a crown or bridge.
This process allows dental implants to feel strong and natural while also helping maintain healthy bone structure in the jaw.
Assessment and Planning
Your implant journey begins with a thorough examination and consultation. We will review your oral health, medical history, jawbone strength, and desired treatment goals. Digital images and scans help us determine the best placement and approach.
If the bone level is low, bone grafting may be recommended to provide a stronger foundation. Proper planning is key to long-term success.
The Placement Procedure
Implant placement is a routine dental procedure. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable, and most patients return to daily activities within a short period. The implant is placed into the jaw, and healing begins.
As the bone integrates with the implant, the foundation becomes stronger. This healing phase usually takes a few months.
Restoring Your Smile
Once the implant is secure, a custom crown is attached. This crown is matched to the shape and color of your natural teeth for a seamless smile. The end result is durable, natural-looking, and comfortable.
Caring for Your Implant
A dental implant can last for many years with proper care. Good oral hygiene, regular cleanings, and checkups are essential to maintain implant health.
