Not Everyone Can Get Tooth Implants — Some Medical Conditions Make The Procedure Unsafe. However, If Our Dentist Believes Dental Implants Can Work For You, Our First Step Is To Determine If Your Jaw Is Healthy Enough To Implant The Titanium Post.
If You Lost Your Tooth Very Recently, You May Need To Wait For Your Jaw To Grow And Fill The Space It Left. If You Lost Your Tooth Many Years Ago, Your Jawbone May Have Atrophied, And You May Need Bone Grafting. Or, If Your Neighboring Teeth Have Moved Into The Space Left By The Tooth You Lost, You May Need Orthodontia To Shift Them Back Into Place.
Once You’re Ready, Our Dentist Implants The Post Into Your Jaw. After This Step, Patients Need Several Months To Heal And For Their Jawbone To Grow Around The Post So It Is Tight And Sturdy. Next, The Dentist Attaches The Abutment And The Crown. Then You’re Ready To Look In The Mirror And See Your Beautiful New Smile!
