Dental implants have become a popular tooth replacement option. Since dental implants replace the whole tooth, root and all, they are a complete tooth replacement solution. Patients love dental implants because they are a permanent and comfortable tooth replacement that is natural-looking and secure. Dental implants are offered at Canyon Oral & Facial Surgery Dental Implant Experts in Summerlin and Centennial Hills, NV.
A dental implant can be described in three parts: the post, the abutment, and the crown. The dental implant post is made of medical-grade titanium and is the part that is surgically inserted into the jaw bone. The titanium is made to fuse with the bone over the course of several weeks, creating a secure foundation for the rest of the prosthesis. A single dental implant can be placed in as little as half an hour. Once the implant post has securely fused with the jaw bone, the custom-made crown and connecting abutment are placed.

Chances are, if you are healthy enough to undergo a routine tooth extraction, you are healthy enough to receive a dental implant. Many patients can enjoy the benefits of dental implants, even if they were denied alternative tooth replacement options. Some patients should be advised that additional procedures, such as a bone graft, may be required as a part of their treatment to receive dental implants successfully.
Dental implants require basic care and maintenance. Just brush, floss, and visit your dentist regularly.
After a dental implant post has been placed, the recovery period begins. There will be several weeks of healing in the jaw while the dental implant post fuses with the jaw bone. On average, this process takes between 3 and 6 months, but your age, bone health, lifestyle, and more will play a role in how long your recovery period will be. To optimize healing and minimize the risk of complications, please be sure to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions that your oral surgeon provided to you.
