What are Dental Implants?

If you were to see someone smile who has dental implants, you wouldn’t be able to tell, and that’s part of the magic of the treatment! In truth, a patient’s new teeth are anchored to their jaw using small titanium posts that act like new tooth roots. They actually bond with the surrounding bone just like natural teeth, creating an extremely stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

The 4-Step Dental Implant Process

  • Consultation: You’ll sit down with Dr. Thanh, explain your goals, and she’ll let you know if dental implants would be a good fit for you based on your input and an oral exam.
  • Placement Surgery: If you decide to proceed, Dr. Thanh will use advanced imaging technology to precisely place your implants into your jaw.
  • Recovery: Your mouth will heal after about a week, and over the next three to six months, your implants will become part of your jaw.
  • Restoration: You’ll visit Dr. Thanh one last time so she can attach your new teeth to your implants, and now your new smile is ready!
