What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as tooth roots to hold an artificial tooth in place. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants actually become a permanent structure in your mouth, as the bone and tissue surrounding the implant will fuse with the titanium. From there, an abutment is placed over the top of the implant. An abutment is a metal connector that links the implant to the artificial tooth (or dental crown).

For those who are looking to replace all of their teeth but don’t want to deal with slippage and other issues that just wearing dentures alone can cause, then it might be time to consider getting implant dentistry in Stockton, CA. Now we can place a couple of implants into the gums and then attach the full set of dentures to the implant.

What is the dental implant procedure in Stockton, CA like?

The first step is to open up the gums and place the implants into the jaw. Over the course of a few months, the bone will begin to bond with the metal implants, holding them permanently in place. While this is occurring, your Stockton dentist will fit you with temporary teeth.

The second step is to open up the gums to reveal the implants and then attach an abutment or extender to the top of each one. The extender serves to connect the implant to the dentures. After a few more weeks of healing, we will attach the dentures to the abutments to give you a permanent, new smile.
