The first stage is to fit the implants into your jaw. To do this successfully, you need to have enough healthy jawbone to secure the post. If you don’t have the healthy bone required for implantation and you’re a suitable candidate, you need to undergo bone graft surgery or a sinus lift to build up the jaw. After the implant is secured in your jaw, it needs time to heal. Before fitting the crown, the bone has to fuse around the post, which can take several months. Solomon Family Dentistry uses Zimmer Trabecular Metal implants that promote fusion and speed up the healing process. They also offer innovative All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants. Your dentist designs the crowns that fit over the implants by using Encode Impression System scanning technology to create impressions of the space and the nearby teeth. The new crown should match your existing teeth exactly, so you can’t tell which is a natural tooth and which is the crown. Solomon Family Dentistry is able to create customized crowns in a matter of minutes using CEREC same-day crown technology.
