Find out more about this tooth replacement solution and how the implantation process works.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Filling in the Holes with Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<p>In order to maintain bone strength and good oral health, missing teeth should be replaced as soon as possible. One of the best replacement methods is dental implants, and here\u2019s why. Made of titanium, these small posts or \u201cimplants\u201d act as the tooth\u2019s root. Once it is surgically placed, it will fuse to the bone, making it a permanent fixture within your mouth. A customized crown is placed on top of the implant, matching your natural teeth\u2019s color, size, and shape. Its durability will allow for it to withstand normal wear and tear, and you won\u2019t even know it\u2019s there because of its seamless look and feel.<\/p>\n<h2>The Phases of Crafting a New Smile<\/h2>\n<p>The process for receiving dental implants can take months, so while it is required to practice some patience, it will be worth it to see the end result. Placement occurs in two phases, and it may require that you visit your dentist more than three times during this time.<\/p>\n<h3>Phase One<\/h3>\n<p>Your dentist on Buckner will surgically place the implants below your gum line. This can typically take a few minutes or a few hours depending on the number of implants you need placed. Once they are in position, the implants will be inserted into the jawbone. Remember, you will be under sedation during this process. After your dentist has secured it to the bone, you will receive a protective cap that will fit over the implant and stay during the healing process that can take 3 to 6 months. This will allow the implant to properly fuse to the bone.<\/p>\n<h3>Phase Two<\/h3>\n<p>Once you are completely healed and your dentist is satisfied, you will receive the abutment that will hold the artificial tooth in place, as well as your permanent dental restoration \u2013 a customized crown. This will sit on top of your implant, blending in beautifully with the rest of your smile. Until it arrives, you may be able to receive a temporary crown.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a smile that looks completely natural and feels just like your regular teeth, dental implants are the way to go. Not only do they prove to be aesthetically pleasing, but they\u2019re durable, low maintenance, and they can last for decades!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Practice <\/strong><br \/>\nThe team at Bear Creek Family Dentistry understands that missing teeth are an inconvenience, which is why dental implants have changed the way we replace teeth.
