When you have missing teeth, dental implants<\/a>\nmay seem like a miracle in how they keep the jawbone healthy and allow you to\neat anything. But of course, getting dental implants in Parker is no miracle;\nit\u2019s a surgical procedure with several steps you\u2019ll need to complete before you\ncan enjoy a fully restored grin. Here\u2019s what you can expect during the 5 stages\nof the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Initial Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, before your dentist in Parker does anything else,\nthey\u2019ll need to examine your mouth and devise a plan. During the initial\nconsultation, they\u2019ll take an X-ray and check your teeth and gums for signs of\ninfection and other complicating factors. Once your dentist has all the\ninformation they need, they\u2019ll go over the procedure and overall timeframe with\nyou before scheduling the next appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Preparations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you\u2019ll need to undergo a few additional treatments\nbefore you can get dental implants. For example, if you\u2019re getting\nimplant-retained dentures, any remaining teeth in the arch receiving the\nrestoration will need to be removed. You could also need a bone graft to add\nextra height to your jaw; if so, you may need to wait an additional 4 to 12\nmonths for the bone to fully heal before you can receive dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Implant Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this point, the titanium implant posts are inserted into\nyour jaw. The surgery will take about 1 to 2 hours, and your dentist will use\nsedation and other methods to keep you calm and comfortable throughout it.\nHowever, this is not the end of the process; the posts need to fuse with the\nbone before they can support prosthetic teeth. After about 5 to 7 months, your\nmouth will have healed enough for the next step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Abutment Placement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An abutment is what supports the crown or another type of\nrestoration. It will be screwed into the implant post once your jaw has fully\nrecovered from surgery. Once it\u2019s in place, the dentist will take an impression\nto aid with the design of your replacement teeth. You might also receive a\ntemporary crown at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Restoration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final stage is to receive a natural-looking crown,\nbridge, or dentures. Some restorations are designed to be removable so that you\ncan take them out of your mouth for daily cleaning; others are permanently\nfixed in place, making them much stronger and more stable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget that your dentist is here to help you through\neach stage of the procedure; they\u2019ll give you instructions for aftercare and advise\nyou on recognizing and avoiding potential complications. With their help,\nyou\u2019ll be able to successfully navigate the dental implant process and end up\nwith the complete, healthy grin of your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
