What is a dental implant, and how does it work?
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically implanted into your jaw to serve as a replacement root for a missing tooth. As you heal, the implant will fuse to the jawbone, a process called osseointegration. This process establishes a stable foundation so a crown, bridge, or denture can be placed. This integration allows the implant to mimic the natural function and appearance of a tooth, offering a permanent solution for tooth loss that looks and feels natural.
What are the benefits of choosing dental implants over other tooth replacement options?
Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options like bridges and dentures. They provide a more permanent solution with proper care, often lasting a lifetime. Implants also help preserve jawbone density, preventing the bone loss that can occur with missing teeth. Unlike dentures, implants do not slip or require adhesive, making them more comfortable and convenient. Additionally, they do not affect adjacent teeth, as bridges might, ensuring the health of your remaining natural teeth.
What can I expect during the dental implant procedure?
The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps. Initially, Dr. Mirmooji will conduct a thorough examination and take imaging to plan the placement. The implant is then surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia. A healing period follows, allowing the implant to integrate with the bone. Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, serving as a connector for the artificial tooth. Finally, a custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, completing the restoration and restoring your smile’s function and appearance.
Is the dental implant procedure uncomfortable?
The dental implant procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is applied before the procedure so that you have a comfortable experience. Post-operation, some swelling and mild discomfort are normal, but these symptoms can be managed with store-bought sedatives and should subside within a few days. We will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.

How long does the entire dental implant process take?
The duration of the dental implant process varies depending on individual circumstances, such as the need for bone grafting or the number of implants placed. On average, the process can take several months from start to finish. The initial implant operation is followed by a healing period of three to six months to allow osseointegration. The abutment and crown can be placed once the implant fully integrates with the jawbone.
