Dr. Snider is here blogging today from Fort Worth, TX to explain the procedure of dental implants and how it could be the perfect answer for you if you are experiencing some dental issues.
First of all the process of dental implants is painless and easy for both you and us. You need to come in for a consultation to see if you are a proper candidate for implants before the appointments for the actual procedure are made. A good candidate has strong jaw bone structure, that is sufficient for the process of osseointegration. Osseointegration is when the implants form to the actual jawbone over a few month period.
People that have too much erosion in their weakened jaw bones, need to have a bone grafting procedure done in order to restrengthen the jaw so that the osseointegration will work. The practice installs and repairs bone fractures by replacing the missing bone; it is a very basic procedure that does not take much time. You will discuss with your doctor which operation you will need, depending on how bad the damage is.
Once the titanium has formed into the jaw bone, over a 4-6 month process, you will now be ready to get the actual implants in your smile. The doctor will place the teeth into the missing places in your mouth and you will be ready to share your new beautiful smile with the rest of the world.
One amazing thing about dental implants is that they cannot actually decay like our natural teeth. However, it is important to be aware that if they are not cleaned properly and as they should be, you can develop peri-implantitis in which the area around the implant will decay. With implants you can and should brush just as often and floss just as thoroughly; it is very important to do this to keep your implants and remaining natural teeth healthy.
