Mesa AZ Dentist Dental Implant Steps for Single Tooth Placement
Almost any missing tooth can be replaced with a Dental Implant if there is enough bone at the area of the missing tooth. There are procedures that can be done to grow enough bone to safely place an implant such as bone grafting 1. The implant is put in the bone under the gum tissue. Temporary support may be needed to support the implant until the healing is complete. 2. After healing, a custom-made crown will be molded and matched to your existing teeth. 3. In the final step, the custom crown is cemented onto the support. Typically it takes about an hour to have the "post" part of the implant to be placed, and anywhere from 3-6 months to heal depending on how much bone you have in the area. Sometimes a bone graft needs to be placed, and that's what takes a while - the new bone has to integrate into the space. If you already have a space where the implant is going to be placed, likely you will get to skip the grafting part. Read More http://www.drrobison.com/dental-implants.html
