At SmileOnImplants, we provide dental implant surgery in Burbank. A dental implant is a fixture that acts as a “tooth root” by providing a permanent base for fixed replacement teeth.
Dental implants are usually made of medical-grade titanium; however, other materials can be used, including zirconia or a hybrid of titanium and zirconia together. Titanium is common and recommended because it’s biocompatible and the body accepts it very well. It’s also quite durable and can withstand many years of use.
Over time, a dental implant will actually fuse to the living bone cells of the jaw. This is known as “osseointegration”, and it’s a process that prevents slippage and other unwanted movements in the mouth. Osseointegration allows a patient’s new teeth to feel as natural as possible, makes eating much easier, and helps form a strong anchor for the new teeth.
Once your dental implant has been placed within the jawbone, it is then allowed 3-5 months to heal and osseointegrate with the jawbone. That is, it will fuse with the surface of the dental implant and permanently fixate the dental implant in the jawbone. Once the dental implant is healed and fused to the jawbone, the dental implant will be re-exposed. An impression will be taken of the exact location of the dental implant and sent to our in-house dental laboratory so that our technicians can fabricate the abutment and the crown that is custom-made to the individual patient. Once we receive this abutment and crown back from our lab, we’re ready to fully fixate them together onto the dental implant. At this stage, the treatment is complete and the patient can now confidently smile and chew comfortably for many years.
