Precision Dental Implant Placement: A Foundation for Lifelong Smiles

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Planning

Your implant journey begins with a thorough consultation, where Dr. Harris assesses your oral health, discusses your goals, and outlines your treatment plan. Using state-of-the-art imaging technology, we map out the precise location for implant placement, ensuring optimal results.

Step 2: Preparation and Bone Grafting (If Necessary)

For patients with insufficient jawbone density, a bone graft may be required to create a solid foundation for the implant. Dr. Harris specializes in advanced bone grafting techniques, preparing your jaw for successful implant integration.

Step 3: Implant Placement Surgery

The placement of the dental implant is a carefully orchestrated procedure performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. Dr. Harris inserts the titanium implant into the jawbone, where it will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.

Step 4: Healing and Osseointegration

After placement, a period of healing allows the implant to integrate with the jawbone, forming a sturdy base for the replacement tooth. Dr. Harris monitors your progress closely, ensuring the implant is healing properly and ready for the final restoration.

Step 5: Abutment and Crown Placement

Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to serve as a connector for the replacement tooth or crown. The final step is the placement of a custom-made crown, meticulously crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.

The Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants

Dental implants are a lifelong investment in your oral health, offering benefits that include:

• Natural Look and Feel: Implants mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.
• Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering neighboring teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
• Enhanced Comfort and Confidence: Implants eliminate the discomfort and insecurity associated with dentures.
