What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that are typically between 4 and 16 millimeters long. They’re threaded and look similar to a screw, but they’re surgically placed below the gumline and within the jawbone to mimic the natural roots of your teeth. Due to their biocompatible nature, they can then fuse with the jawbone, offering a dental crown, bridge, or denture a secure base to be attached to.

The 4-Step Dental Implant Process

Consultation: Our team will begin your dental implant journey with an in-depth consultation with one of our dentists in Grand Prairie. We’ll take a cone beam CT scan of your facial structure and ask you about your oral and medical health histories. Based on our evaluation, we can let you know whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants and draw up a treatment plan for you.
Surgery: The next step of your process is the surgical placement of the dental implants. Our qualified dentists can complete this step in-house, ensuring that you’ll continue to be seen by the same team you know and trust instead of being referred out to a different office.
Osseointegration: For the ful1984 lowing three to six months, your dental implants will fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Your gums will also heal around your posts, and typically, our patients feel well enough to return to work within a day or two following their surgery.
Restoration: After healing and osseointegration are complete, we will attach small metal connector pieces to the top of your dental implants, called abutments. Our team will capture impressions of your mouth that we’ll send off to our dental laboratory to create your permanent prosthetic. As soon as we receive it, which is typically within about two weeks, we’ll call you back in to secure it to your dental implants and complete your smile!
