While it might look complex, our team at Elite Oral & Facial Surgery is here to make your dental implant journey seamless, comfortable, and predictable.
A natural tooth has two main parts: the crown (visible for chewing) and the root (anchored in the bone). When a tooth is lost, both are gone. Here is how we restore that structure:
1️⃣ Replacing the Root: We place a small, biocompatible titanium implant into the jawbone to act as a new root. (Thanks to modern advancements, our surgeons often place the implant during the same visit as your extraction to minimize procedures!)
2️⃣ The Healing Process: Over a minimum of eight weeks, your jawbone naturally bonds with the titanium post (osseointegration), creating a rock-solid foundation.
3️⃣ The Restoration: Once healed, an abutment (support post) and a custom-made crown—crafted by your restorative dentist—are attached, looking, feeling, and functioning just like a natural tooth.
Getting implants is a seamless team effort between our oral surgeons (who handle the extractions, placement, and any bone grafting) and your restorative dentist (who crafts your beautiful final crown).
