When you are talking with a dentist about dental restoration, the dental implants procedure is often at the top of the list of recommendations. These implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth, and the implants work in the same way as the natural tooth.
Keep in mind that several appointments will be required to place an implant, so you should prepare for the time that will be needed to complete the entire procedure. During the first consultation, Dr. Patel will discuss your dental health history to determine if the implant procedure is a good fit for you. Then, the first appointment will involve putting an implant post into your jawbone. Next, it is necessary to wait for a few months before the final appointment in order to allow time for the jawbone to assimilate the implant post. Finally, a dental crown or dental bridge can be attached to the top of the post, resulting in a dental treatment that gives you a natural appearance.
