When most people think about smile restoration, they mistakenly believe this service is only for those who are missing all of their teeth. Fortunately, dental implants in Northbrook can be placed anywhere in your mouth. Even if you only need one Single dental implant, you can have this treatment carried out. For those missing a tooth in the front of their smile, this treatment option allows them to regain their confidence in their appearance, so they do not have to feel ashamed of showing their smile.
Whether you are having a Single dental implant put in or a whole mouth restoration, the process is basically the same. You will first need to come in for an assessment, to see if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Once it has been determined you can have an implant put in, you will be scheduled for the procedure. It is important to note, this process does not occur in one visit. You will have your first procedure carried out and then there will be a healing period before the artificial tooth is put in place.
The first part of the procedure involves you having the metal anchor placed down into your jawbone. This is screwed down into the bone, so it can begin to fuse with your bone tissue. This process occurs over a period of three to six months and must be accomplished before your artificial tooth is put in.
At your next appointment, you will have X-rays taken, to ensure the bone fusion is complete. Next, the dentist will put your new tooth in, so your smile is fully complete. Most people are amazed at how attractive their smiles look after this procedure. Since the tooth looks and functions just like your own natural teeth, no one will be aware you have had any dental work, unless you choose to tell them.
If you are missing one of your teeth, a dental implant can help. Contact North Suburban Dental of Northbrook and schedule a consultation dental appointment, so you can learn if an implant can make a difference in your smile. Through a dental implant, your smile can finally be complete.
