What does the dental implant procedure involve?

The dental implant procedure involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. After the implant is placed, it takes a few months for the bone to fuse with the post in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom crown is attached to the implant to complete your smile. Should you have any questions or concerns at any point in the process, our Germantown dental team would be glad to assist you.

Who is a candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gums, sufficient jawbone density, and are free of conditions or habits that affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or smoking. If bone loss has occurred, a bone graft may be needed before placing the implant. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and medical history to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.
