How Do Dental Implants Work?
Curious about how dental implants work? Let us guide you through the process at Poplar Dental, your trusted dentist in SW Calgary.
How Do Implants Work?
Dental implants are a sophisticated solution with three key components. A metal or titanium screw is expertly placed inside the jawbone, acting as a sturdy foundation. An abutment is attached to the implant, and a prosthetic—such as partials, dentures, dental crowns, or bridges—is selected to replace the missing tooth.
Dr. Perry's Expertise:
At Poplar Dental, Dr. Perry evaluates your oral health, ensuring adequate density in your gums, teeth, and jawbone before initiating the implant procedure. The process typically spans three to six months as the implant fuses seamlessly with the bone before attaching an abutment. Individual healing times may vary, with upper jaw recovery potentially taking a bit longer.
