General Questions
Understanding Dental Implants at Gentle and Caring Dentistry
Dental implants are titanium “root substitutes “that integrate seamlessly with your jawbone. Here’s what’s involved:
- Surgical Procedure: Under sedation, the “ implants” (titanium root substitute) are precisely placed at the site of tooth loss.
- Healing Period: The titanium implants undergo a healing period of 3 months to fuse with the jawbone, known as osseointegration.
- Prosthetic Restoration: After osseointegration, a prosthetic restoration like a crown, bridge, or dentures is securely attached to the implant.
