The Dental Implants Procedure:
What to Expect

Titanium Rod Implant

The synthetic tooth root is typically made of titanium which is inserted into your jawbone where the missing tooth was. The titanium rod provides better stability than traditional dentures or bridges and helps to prevent deterioration of the jawbone.

After the jaw bone has fused with the titanium rod, a custom porcelain crown is then placed over the synthetic tooth root, making your dental implant look like a real tooth. With an artificial tooth root and crown, this replacement tooth functions just like your natural teeth. It offers you the full capability of your mouth again.

Dental Implant FAQs

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns or bridges, ensuring a natural look and feel. The implants fuse with the jawbone over time, offering a long-term solution for missing teeth.

The dental implants procedure involves several steps. First, a comprehensive dental exam is conducted. Then, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. After a healing period, during which the implant fuses with the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant. Finally, a custom-made crown is placed on top of the abutment to restore the tooth’s appearance and function.

Ideal candidates for tooth implants are individuals with good oral health, sufficient jawbone density, and healthy gums. If you have missing teeth and are interested in dental implants, a consultation with our dental team at Beveridge Dental will help determine your eligibility. We will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess your specific needs and provide personalized recommendations.

Replacing teeth with dental implants offers several benefits over other methods. Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. They look and function like natural teeth, providing better aesthetics and comfort. Unlike dentures, implants do not slip or require adhesives. They also help preserve jawbone density and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth, maintaining the overall structure of your mouth.
