Rancho Cucamonga Dentists say that a dentist must conduct a comprehensive examination to determine if you are a good candidate for a dental implants.

Dental Implants

Rancho Cucamonga Dentist says a dentist will determine if you have any systemic diseases that might prevent you from getting a dental implant.

If there are no systemic medical problems, we will take x-rays to create a model of your mouth and feel your gum tissue.

Individuals who have suffered a traumatic injury or failed to have a tooth erupt from their anterior area of the mouth or have had a previous root canal or lost a tooth due to dental decay may be recommended for a single tooth dental implant.

Single Tooth Implant

Rancho Cucamonga Dentists say a single tooth implant is more desirable than a fixed bridge that attaches to several teeth.

Other teeth support a fixed bridge. These teeth are then removed to make way for a cemented bridge.

A dental implant will be placed in the jawbone as a root to replace the missing tooth.

This can help preserve your bone.

What is a Single Dental Implant?

Implants are a surgically implanted metal device to replace missing teeth.

The approach is used by dental specialists (periodontists, prosthodontists or oral physicians).

There are usually three aspects to a dental implant.

The anchor is a metal device that is inserted into bone tissue in the upper or lower jaw.

The abutment is a metal device attached to the anchor via a center twist. It connects the abutment to the prosthetic device.

The Surgical Process

Step 1 — Dental Implant

Schedule a surgery appointment with Rancho Cucamonga Dentists. They will clean the area and administer local anesthesia.

Next, trim the gum tissue and then fold it back.

They will then open the bone to prepare for drilling the actual dental implants.

After drilling a hole in the bone, the anchor for a dental implant will be inserted into this area.

After that, the gum tissue is going to be re-flapped in its place. Finally, the area will be sutured to the implant anchor.

Dental Implants in the lower jaw typically take 36 months to heal. Implants in the top arch take about 4-6 months, as the bone density of the upper arch is smaller than the arch’s.

Step 2 — Dental Implant

The implant anchor will be attached to the abutment.

The implant is then wrapped around the gum tissue with the abutment sticking out of the gum tissue.

The healing cap is then removed after 2-4 weeks and the abutment is discovered.

Step 3 — Dental Implant

To make the crown, you will need to visit 2 different places.

Our dentist will place the crown on the abutment.

The dentist hygienist will explain how to clean and care for the implant to maintain healthy gum tissue.

For a professional cleaning, consult your dentist.

If you are concerned about your dental implant, let your dentist know.
