What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that are surgically implanted beneath the gumline and into the jawbone to replace the missing root structure of one or more teeth. Due to the biocompatible nature of the metal, they’re able to naturally fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. As a result, they form a stable, unwavering support system for any type of restoration, allowing our team to replace the entire structure of your missing tooth.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Consultation: Every dental implant treatment will begin with a consultation with Dr. Weedman and our phenomenal team at Six Summits Dentistry. We’ll take X-rays and thoroughly examine your mouth and look over your medical and oral health history. Based on your case and our findings, we’ll be able to let you know whether dental implants are right for you and walk you through your treatment plan.
- Surgery: Our team works with leading dental implant experts for the surgical placement part of your treatment. We make sure to collaborate and coordinate with your placement specialist at every step of the way so you can enjoy a seamless and streamlined experience.
- Osseointegration: Following dental implant placement, osseointegration will occur over the following three to six months. This is when the implants will fuse with the jawbone. After this is complete, your specialist will contact us to begin the restoration process.
- Restoration: After approval of the specialist, our team will see you back for fabrication of your implant's connector and crown, the tooth shaped portion. A lab will fabricate these and as soon as our team receives your permanent restoration, we’ll have you come back in to make sure it fits perfectly and is made to Dr. Weedman’s specifications before attaching it to your dental implants. From this visit, you’ll be able to leave our office with a complete and functional smile!
