See If You Are a Candidate
To begin your journey to a complete smile, you will first need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Spiro Saati to see if you are a candidate for dental implants. Although most people are candidates for the procedure, there are some issues that can prevent you from getting dental implants.
Dr. Saati will perform a thorough consultation to ensure your gums are healthy. Diagnostic images will be taken to evaluate your bone density to ensure it will support the implant posts. Your medical history and lifestyle habits will be discussed to confirm you have minimal risk factors for infection and implant failure. Finally, a comprehensive treatment plan is created to replace your missing teeth.
Undergo Implant Placement
The first phase of treatment involves a surgical procedure to insert the implant posts into the jawbone. By placing the titanium posts into the jawbone, your body naturally accepts the material to replace the tooth root while creating a secure foundation for the replacement teeth. A small incision is made in the gum tissue to implant the posts. Then, the gum tissue is sutured closed.
Begin the Healing Process
After the implant posts are in place, you will spend the next several months healing. Over this course of time, your jawbone will fuse to the implant post. Once your jawbone is healed, you will undergo a second minor surgery to attach the healing caps. The healing caps are needed to anchor your restorations to the implant posts while also allowing the gum tissue to heal correctly.
Restore Your Smile
The final phase of treatment involves attaching your replacement teeth to the dental implants. If you are replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth, the restorations will be attached to the abutments. For those missing all their teeth, we will place a custom-made arch to restore your smile.
