The Dental Implants Process
The dental implants process is somewhat extensive, but hugely and permanently rewarding once complete. After your consultation, your implant dentist will prepare your gums to receive the implanted artificial tooth roots by gently cutting them back while your mouth is numbed. Once the gums have healed, you will return to Mission Valley or Chula Vista’s Smile San Diego to have your new titanium tooth roots surgically implanted into your jawbone. At this point, you will return home and your jaw will need to heal. After three to six weeks, the biocompatible titanium roots will have permanently grafted to your jawbone and you will be ready to be fitted with your laboratory-crafted porcelain replacement teeth. Your new teeth will be affixed permanently to their titanium roots, and after a brief healing period you will enjoy a smile that looks and feels totally natural.
Unlike removable dentures, dental implants require no more maintenance than a good daily oral hygiene routine. This means that you will never have to worry about messy adhesives and troublesome cleaning, nor will you suffer with ill-fitting and uncomfortable dentures. With dental implants from the implant dentists at Smile San Diego in Mission Valley and Chula Vista, you will enjoy a strong, healthy, and beautiful smile for life!
