If you are missing teeth, you should consider dental implants, the best option for treating tooth loss.
Let’s cover the basics of dental implants and why you should come to Tijuana, MX, for affordable, high-quality dental work.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically embedded into the jawbone where a person is missing a tooth or multiple teeth. The implant fuses with the jawbone for stability, a process known as osseointegration.
Once the implant is in place, it can support an individual dental crown, a dental bridge, or even a full set of dentures. It’s an excellent option for treating varying degrees of tooth loss.
Materials Used for Dental Implants
Different types of materials can be used for dental implants. The main three are:
- Titanium
- Zirconium
- Ceramic
All three implant materials above are biocompatible, which allows the osseointegration process to occur. We can discuss the right implant for you as part of the consultation process.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant procedure involves the following steps:
- The Initial Consultation - Your initial consultation with our Tijuana dentist will involve an evaluation of your oral health and overall candidacy for dental implants. This is also an opportunity to ask questions and get the answers you’re looking for.
- Implant Placement Surgery - During the oral surgery to place the implant, an incision is made on the gum tissue and the implant is anchored into the jawbone. We take all precautions to ensure patients are comfortable and pain-free.
- The Initial Healing Period - After the implant is placed, patients will have a healing period that lasts a few months. This allows the implant to fuse with the jawbone and ensure a stable and durable hold.
- Placing the Abutment - After the healing period, we then place an abutment on the implant. This abutment connects the implant to the final crown, bridge, or denture.
- Placing the Final Restoration - When the patient is ready, the final implant restoration is placed. We take care to ensure the restoration looks natural.
