Dental Implants And Dentures

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: 

  1. Comprehensive Consultation — Dr. Abed evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and uses advanced imaging to assess bone structure and plan optimal implant positioning.
  2. Preparation Phase — If needed, we will perform preliminary procedures like extractions, bone grafting, or sinus lifts to create the ideal foundation for the implant. 
  3. Implant Placement — Dr. Abed positions the titanium implant post precisely in the jawbone during a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia for comfort
  4. 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.
  5. Final Restoration — Once integration is complete, Dr. Abed places your custom-designed crowns, bridges, or dentures, completing your smile transformation.

Snap-in dentures connect directly to titanium dental implants surgically anchored in your jawbone. These implants create a stable foundation that allows the denture to snap securely into place while remaining easy to remove for sleeping and daily cleaning.

Compared to traditional removable dentures, snap-in options offer superior stability, making eating and speaking feel far more comfortable and natural. During a consultation, your dentist will examine your jawbone structure and oral health to determine if snap-in dentures are the right fit for your needs.
