Restoration of Dental Implants, Implant Dentistry - Wilmington, Delaware |

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to serve as anchors for replacement teeth. Implant dentistry requires several phases, from surgery to place the dental implants to placement of the restoration. Here at our Wilmington, Delaware, practice, we are involved in the restorative phase of the dental implants process, during which time the restoration is fabricated and placed onto the implant.
What are Dental Implants?Dental implants are titanium screws or posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone where teeth are missing. After several months, the dental implants fuse to the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for replacement teeth. Implant dentistry offers several benefits to patients with missing teeth. Dental implants look and feel extremely natural, so you can eat, talk, and smile with confidence. In addition, dental implants preserve facial contours and prevent the bone deterioration that occurs after teeth are lost.
What Steps are Involved in Implant Dentistry?The implant dentistry process involves several steps. First, surgery is performed to place the dental implants into the jawbone. After a waiting period of about three to six months, during which time the dental implants fuse to the jawbone, a second surgery in performed to attach posts to the dental implants (in some cases, the posts are attached to the dental implants during the initial surgery). Once the gums are healed, the restoration process can begin. We do not perform the dental implants surgery at our Wilmington, Delaware, practice. We come in after your dental implants have healed and you are ready for the restoration.
What Happens During the Dental Implants Restoration Process?During the dental implants restoration process at our Wilmington, Delaware, office, an impression is made of the post, which is sent to the dental lab so they can fabricate your custom restoration. When the restoration is complete, you will come in for a final visit, at which time Dr. Fay will adjust the restoration and cement it into place. The final result of implant dentistry is a natural, functional tooth that is virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth. Dental implants can replace a single lost tooth or several missing teeth.
