Atlanta, Georgia Center for Dental Implants

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant treatment may involve several pieces, however it may also be described as having two main parts:

One part is a restoration that is custom fabricated to match the shape of a natural tooth crown.  The second part is the implant that replaces the function of a natural tooth root.  The implant stimulates the jawbone and provides a stable foundation for the restoration.

The first phase of Implant treatment involves creating an opening in the jawbone in preparation for the implant.

The implant is then placed followed by a healing cover.  Depending on the implant system, the gums may be sutured and a temporary denture placed.  The site immediately begins to heal.  A process known as Osseointegration takes place where bone molecules begin to attach themselves to the titanium surrounding the implant.  It usually takes about 4 months for the bone to securely bond to the entire implant surface.

The final phase involves the custom restoration being fitted and securely placed.
