Missing teeth might seem like a simple cosmetic issue, but the truth is that they can seriously affect the structure and overall health of your mouth. To help patients in Washington, D.C. who are dealing with one or more missing teeth, Dr. Kami'Lah Brown is pleased to offer high-quality dental implants. An implant utilizes a sturdy post that acts as a stand-in tooth root, and a unique crown, bridge, or denture fills in for the viewable part of the missing tooth (or teeth). Whether you've suffered a lost tooth or recently had an extraction, visit the team at Presidential Dental Group to discover more about fixed dental implants and other restorative solutions for missing teeth.
What Is the Dental Implant Process Like?
To prepare your jaw for your replacement tooth (or teeth), the implant will first need to be set into the jaw with surgery. Dental implant surgery can be done with either local or general anesthesia, depending on how many posts need to be placed. Once the anesthesia is working, the titanium implant will be installed into your jaw. Over the next several months, the implant should begin to fuse with the surrounding tissue through a process called osseointegration. Once the surgical area has completely healed (usually 6 – 9 months afterward), Dr. Brown will place a unique implant crown, denture, or full-arch piece and analyze the alignment of your bite.
Following your dental implant surgery, you may experience swelling, discoloration, and pain around the treated area. Prescribed or nonprescription pain relievers and cold compresses may help diminish any post-op aches or pains. Once your restoration is complete, you can care for it by brushing and flossing consistently. Dr. Brown will continue to monitor the condition of your implant during future cleanings at Presidential Dental Group, but with the proper care, dental implants can last for decades.
