Dental Implants

Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts that are attached in the jawbone on the area of the missing tooth/teeth. This provides patients a solid foundation for their removable or permanent teeth. It enables patients to have a natural looking and functioning teeth replacement that gives them the perfect smile and the ability to eat almost anything.

Procedure

Dental implants are embedded to your jawbone during a brief surgical procedure. Your dentist at Anderton Family Dental will cut through the gum tissue, uncovering the jawbone before carefully drilling a hole where your implant will be screwed. The gum will then be replaced and stitched back in its position. Once the bone and the gum are healed after 6 to 12 weeks, your dentist will attach an abutment (a connector post) to the post that will firmly hold your new tooth. The whole process could take about 3 to 6 months and the recovery time could take anywhere from 2 to 3 months.

The two types of procedure are single-stage implants and two-stage implants and the different types of dental implants are:

  • Endosteal
  • Subperiosteal
  • Transosteal

    LIFESTYLE AND SUPPLEMENTS TIPS TO BOOST IMMUNITY

    Maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Sleep deprivation, stress, excess alcohol or caffeine all decrease immune function. Set yourself up for success with good self-care. Nourish your body with healthy whole foods and drink plenty of fluids.

    Consider stocking up on healthful pantry items such as frozen veggies and berries, frozen meats, poultry and fish, bone broth, soup, nuts, seeds, canned beans, grains, and teas in case you need to spend an extended time at home.

    Thanks in advance for your understanding and patience as we navigate implementing best practices during this time. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Be well and enjoy your day!
