Because each person\u2019s mouth is different, every process varies, which means that only your implant dentist can, in detail, explain what <em>yours<\/em> will look like. To get an idea of what you can expect from this treatment, read below for an outline of the four phases of getting dental implants.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Initial Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step patients take on their journey towards\nrestoring their smile is scheduling an initial consultation with their dentist\nin Fargo. During this appointment, they\u2019ll take several images of your mouth and\nexamine the health of your teeth and gums to determine whether you need any\ntreatments or procedures before your implant surgery can be scheduled. This is\nalso a great time to ask your implant dentist any questions you may have. They\u2019ll\nbe prepared to give you all the information you need to make a sound and\nconfident decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparatory Procedures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients need preparatory procedures before their\nimplants can be placed. These commonly include sinus lifts, bone grafts, gum\ndisease therapy, and tooth extractions. To maximize the chances of successful\nimplant integration, your jawbone and mouth will need to be as healthy as\npossible. After these procedures have been completed, you\u2019ll need to undergo a\nhealing process before your implant surgery will be scheduled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implant Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your body has completely healed after your preparatory\nprocedures, you\u2019ll be able to undergo your dental implant surgery. During this,\ntitanium posts will be inserted underneath your gums via small incisions. Once\nthey have, you\u2019ll undergo several months of healing, where your titanium posts\nwill naturally fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration.\nThis allows your implants to provide a strong, stable, and long-lasting\nfoundation for your replacement teeth to be secured to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Abutment &amp; Restoration Placement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After osseointegration, you\u2019ll be ready to have your\nabutments placed, or small metal connector pieces. These are attached to the\ntops of dental implants and specially designed to hold your restorations in\nplace. After the abutments are attached, your dentist will take impressions of\nyour mouth to send off to a dental laboratory to craft your replacement teeth to\ntheir specifications. As soon as your permanent restorations arrive, you\u2019ll visit\nyour implant dentist one last time to complete the procedure. They\u2019ll secure\nyour replacement teeth to the abutments, finishing your revitalized smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been looking into replacing your missing teeth and\nrestoring the function of your mouth, dental implants are the latest and most\nadvanced solution that the dental world has to offer. Although the procedure\nrequires more time and a larger up-front cost, the long-term investment is\nunmatched by any traditional restorative solution. With a natural-looking,\nstrong, and lasting new smile, you\u2019ll feel confident that you made the right\nchoice for your future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Stacy Goodwill has over two decades of experience restoring and reviving her patients\u2019 smile by replacing missing teeth.
