The Dental Implant Procedure
If you have a tooth or several teeth missing, you’ll find dental implants is the best option to get your smile back. It may sound like a scary procedure but it’s actually quite simple and the results are amazingly real looking. Although simple it does require healing which will involve stages and can take several procedures. Our Riverside dentist can help.
Step 1: The first phase of surgery will typically involve an incision in your gums where the implant which is is typically metal like posts go and expose the bone. The implant will be screwed in. Your gums are stitched up covering the bone and healing will begin.
Step 2: The next phase is all about getting you the perfect crown. They’ll want to get good impressions of your teeth in order to do so. This entire process make take a few appointments. It will depend on the person.
Step 3: Once they have the crown ready it will be placed in the appropriate spot. The prosthetic has the option to be secured or removable. In order for it to be removable there is an adapter placed in the implant which allows for them to still be secured together.

Dental Implants – Frequently Asked Questions
One of the first patients to receive an implant lived forty years without having to fix the implant.
The placement is done by making precise holes in the gum bones so prosthetic fits in perfectly. Once the implant is inserted, an abutment is placed on the implant.
The gum tissue will then be closed around the implant.
A fixed implant bridge could require as little as six implants. Four is the ideal number of implants for the support of a removable over-denture.
Dental implants simulate the experience of having a real tooth. A titanium screw simulates the roots of your teeth. Dental implants are well crafted and have a strong root system thus they will last longer.
This process fools your body into believing that the implant is actual bone. Overtime your body will recognize the bone graft as natural bone and start to replace it with natural bone.
Bone grafting used to be a long and painful process, but new techniques and technology have made the process a lot less painful.
