Implants: replace Teeth

---

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are advanced dental solutions designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Made from biocompatible materials, implants consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a sturdy root for a custom-made crown. This innovative solution not only enhances aesthetics but also improves functionality, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Indications for a Dental Implant

Dental implants are ideal for various scenarios, including:

Single Tooth Loss: If you have lost a single tooth due to trauma, decay, or periodontal disease, an implant can seamlessly fill the gap.

Multiple Tooth Loss: For those missing several teeth, implants can support bridges or partial dentures, restoring both function and appearance.

Complete Tooth Loss: Dental implants can anchor full dentures, offering stability and comfort, so you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry.

Jawbone Health: If you’ve experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, implants can help stimulate bone growth, preserving the structure of your jaw.

The Process of Getting a Dental Implant

The journey to a restored smile typically involves several key steps:

Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, where Dr. Yang will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for implants.

Treatment Planning: Using advanced 3D imaging techniques, Dr. Yang will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Implant Placement: During a minor surgical procedure, the titanium post is carefully placed into the jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort. In most cases, Dr. Yang uses a custom surgical guide to pinpoint the ideal location for the implant for best results.

Healing Period: After placement, there’s a healing phase (osseointegration) where your jawbone fuses with the implant. This can take several months (3-4 months) and is crucial for the stability of the implant.

Abutment Placement: Once the implant is healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, serving as a connector for the crown.

Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, completing your restoration and giving you a natural-looking smile. The implant can now be used as a normal tooth and help with chewing and eating functions as well.
