What is the procedure of dental implant surgery?
We are among the select few offices in the Boynton Beach area offering dental implant surgery and restoration in ONE location by ONE doctor. Dental implants are one of our flagship treatments, and we have invested in technology and training for superior outcomes. Dr. Landers has perfected the implant treatment procedure over the years, so you can expect a seamless and successful treatment.
The procedure involves the following:
- Consultation: We’ll meet and discuss your treatment goals and expectations. If you want to use implants to rejuvenate your smile, we’ll examine your dental and medical histories and use digital imaging tools to establish the health of your jawbone for successful implantation.
- Pre-surgery procedures: If necessary, the dentist will extract your failing teeth to pave the way for predictable implants. However, if your edentulous state is due to a recently knocked-out tooth or a tooth that never erupted when your baby tooth fell out, we’ll proceed with implant surgery.
- Implant surgery: After anesthetizing your gums, the dentist uses precision technology and skills to place a titanium post at a strategic position in the jawbone. This titanium stud acts as a prosthetic root to support one or more replacement teeth.
- Healing: We’ll leave your implants for 3-6 months to heal and biologically fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration the two form one solid structure, just like the natural tooth root.
- Abutment placement: After integration, you’ll return to our office for minor surgery to attach a metal connector (abutment) to your implant post. This small component juts out of the gums to link with the final restoration.
- Implant restoration: The last part of the implant is a custom-made crown fabricated after taking impressions of your bite. Your crown matches the surrounding tooth and feels like a natural tooth. The final prosthetic can sometimes be a bridge or denture if you have lost multiple teeth. Whatever the final restoration, the results will be functional and natural-looking.
