What's involved with getting a dental implant?
Getting a dental implant at Smiles Art Dentistry is straightforward and efficient, thanks to advanced technology and Dr. Abed’s skill and expertise.
Steps for Getting a Dental Implant
You can expect multiple steps that occur over several months, including:
- Comprehensive Consultation — Dr. Abed evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and uses advanced imaging to assess bone structure and plan optimal implant positioning.
- Preparation Phase — If needed, we will perform preliminary procedures like extractions, bone grafting, or sinus lifts to create the ideal foundation for the implant.
- Implant Placement — Dr. Abed positions the titanium implant post precisely in the jawbone during a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia for comfort
- Healing Period — Over several months, the implants undergo osseointegration—a remarkable process in which they fuse with your jawbone, creating permanent anchors for your new teeth.
- Final Restoration — Once integration is complete, Dr. Abed places your custom-designed crowns, bridges, or dentures, completing your smile transformation.
