The Process of Getting a Dental Implant
Getting a single dental implant involves several key steps to ensure stability and longevity. First, during the consultation, a thorough examination assesses your oral health and jawbone structure, often using X-rays or 3D imaging to plan the implant placement. This appointment also allows you to discuss any concerns, including the option of sleep dentistry for comfort. Next, the implant placement is a minor surgical procedure where a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone, which fuses with the bone over time in a process called osseointegration. Finally, once the implant is securely integrated, a custom crown is attached, matching your natural teeth for a functional and aesthetic replacement that allows you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Why You Might Need a Single Implant
Losing a tooth impacts both your appearance and oral health, making a single implant an excellent choice for several reasons. First, it stimulates bone growth, preventing jawbone deterioration that often occurs with missing teeth. Additionally, implants help maintain the alignment of adjacent teeth, preventing them from shifting into the gap. They also restore full chewing ability, allowing you to enjoy a variety of foods without discomfort. Lastly, a single implant completes your smile, boosting your confidence and helping you feel more self-assured.
