Dental Implants Surgery: Procedure and Recovery

Dental Implants: An Overview

A procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth is known as a Dental Implants Procedure.

Dental Implants look and function like natural teeth, offering a welcome alternative to dentures or bridgework that can be cumbersome and may not fit well.

Offering an option for those patients for whom a lack of natural teeth roots doesn’t allow building denture or bridgework tooth replacements, Dental Implants are being opted for as an ideal tooth replacement by more and more people these days.

Inserting an implant into the jawbone with a screw-like device, Dr. Ravneet Dhillon the Dental Surgeon at Morgan Hill Dentistry provides a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth.

What is the Procedure of Dental Implant Surgery?

An outpatient surgery, Dental Implant surgery is performed in the Dentist’s office. Made of titanium and other materials that fuse with the jawbone and imitate the root of a tooth, the artificial root allows the dentist to secure the replacement teeth that feel stable and blend in with the surrounding teeth.

The procedure of dental implant surgery may vary from one person to another and depending on various factors like:

1. Number of teeth that need to be replaced

2. Location

3. Quality & quantity of natural bone.

4. Oral and physical health of the patient
