Dental implants are an excellent option for patients who have missing teeth. Dental implants not only restore the aesthetics of a smile, they restore the function of a smile because once dental implants are placed, you’ll notice an improvement while eating your food and you may even have the urge to smile like never before. Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screw-like posts. Our doctors at Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania understand that this procedure may seem frightful, which is why we are here to ease your fears.
Dental implant surgery is performed in stages and before surgery, our doctors will discuss sedation options that best suit your needs. First, the implant, that looks like a screw is placed into the jawbone. Over the next two to six months, the implant and bone will need to bond together in a process called osseointegration. Once this takes place, you will visit your restorative dentist for placement of a crown.
