Thankfully, with dental implants in Roswell, you now have a way to regain\nthe functionality and appearance you\u2019ve been missing. Before committing to the\nprocedure, though, you\u2019d like to know what you should expect. Read on to find\nout!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key to the effectiveness of the dental implant process\nis the surgical placement of a titanium rod that mimics the missing root in\nboth size and function. Unlike any other form of replacement, the dental\nimplant offers a level of support that can only be matched by the tooth\u2019s\noriginal root structure. The placement is typically divided into four phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 1 \u2013 Consultation and Examination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dental implant method of tooth replacement has a 98%\nsuccess rate. One of the reasons for this level of excellence is the tedious\napproach that is taken to determine the patient\u2019s eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the factors considered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The\npatient\u2019s overall health<\/strong> \u2013 To determine what type of anesthesia will be\nsafe to use <\/li><li><strong>The\npatient\u2019s oral health <\/strong>\u2013 To identify any conditions that need to be treated\nbefore the dental implant procedure gets underway<\/li><li><strong>A bone\ndensity test <\/strong>\u2013 To ensure there is enough healthy bone to support a dental\nimplant<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial appointment is also the time that the dentist\nwill provide an accurate price and answer any other questions about the\ndifferent aspects of the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 2 \u2013 The Implant Placement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process starts with the appropriate anesthesia and\nsedative (if needed) being administered. Then, an incision is made into the gums\nso the dental implant can be attached to the jawbone. After this stage is\ncomplete, the patient will be allowed time to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 3 \u2013 The Abutment Placement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After sufficient healing has occurred, an abutment is added.\nUsually made from titanium as well, the fixture is screwed into the implant and\nacts as a connector that allows the final restoration to be added later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 4 \u2013 A Restored Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A final perk of having a dental implant placed is that you\u2019re\nleft with several options for a final restoration. A crown is used for a single\ntooth while a bridge can replace three or more consecutive teeth. If a single\narch or an entire set of teeth is missing, there is the implant-retained denture\nalternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to not hesitate to visit a dentist and learn more\nabout replacing missing teeth in Roswell because the longer you wait, the more\nbone mass you risk losing.
