Dental implants are used to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that will look, and function, like your natural teeth.
Because missing teeth can cause jawbone loss, unwanted shifting, and malocclusion (improper bite), implants provide a solution that can restore the mouth to its natural state, both preserving the face’s natural contours and providing the strength of a natural tooth’s root.
The implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. The bone is allowed to grow and bond with the titanium, and the posts act as an anchor that will provide support for the normal functions of the tooth.

Dental implants are artificial roots that are similar in shape to natural tooth roots. They are used to support single crowns, bridges, and dentures for areas where a patient is missing one or more teeth.

There are many reasons why patients choose dental implant crowns over traditional dentures and bridges when replacing a single tooth. The primary benefits include the following:
- Dental implants crowns provide stability and support for crowns, bridges, and dentures
- They look and feel natural in fact, they are the best option for areas of esthetic demand
- Maintenance is easier compared to dental bridges and therefore, last longer
- Implant crowns preserve healthy adjacent teeth, unlike bridges

What's the Process for Getting Dental Implants?
During the diagnostic phase, Dr Naz will determine whether the patient is a candidate for implants. Candidates for dental implants must generally have good, overall dental health, be free of tooth decay, and free of periodontal disease. Most importantly, dental implant candidates need to have a wide enough and tall enough jaw bone to support an implant. To determine whether the patient’s jaw bone can support an implant, we’ll take a 3D x-ray (CBCT) that allows the dentist to assess the patient’s bone structure. This process is safe and can be completed in just a few minutes. This scan is then input into a dental design software program to create the architecture for your treatment and determine areas of ideal bone for implant placement.
Once we’ve determined that the patient’s jaw bone can support a dental implant, the first step is the placement of the artificial root. This requires a minor surgical procedure and recovery period. During the healing period, osseointegration (the incorporation of the artificial root with the bone) takes place. The success of the osseointegration process can vary depending on the individual patient’s response to the artificial root.
Patients often wonder whether there is any pain associated with implants. Similar to other dental treatments, we do anticipate minimal discomfort. If a patient experiences any discomfort, ibuprofen and/or acetaminophen typically provide adequate relief. Most patients recover within a few days, but the bone integration following artificial root
placement can take between four and six months.
The final phase of receiving a dental implant involves the placement of a permanent crown, which is connected to the implant body by a connector, called an abutment. The crown will be matched to blend seamlessly with the patient’s adjacent teeth and existing crowns. The new crown will function normally and feel natural in the mouth. During this phase, Dr Naz and team will also work with the patient to optimize the longevity of the dental implant by demonstrating specific oral hygiene techniques
