The Dental Implant Process
Dental implants involve a multi-step process, each designed to ensure the best results for your oral health. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when undergoing a dental implant procedure at Lizaso Family Dentistry:
Consultation and Evaluation
During your initial consultation, our team will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess your oral health and determine whether dental implants are the right option for you. This may include X-rays or 3D imaging to examine your jawbone density and structure.Implant Placement Surgery
The first step in the implant process is the surgical placement of the titanium post (implant) into your jawbone. This post serves as the root for your new tooth. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort, and it typically takes about one to two hours, depending on the number of implants being placed.Healing and Integration
After the implant is placed, your jawbone will need time to heal and fuse with the titanium post in a process called osseointegration. This typically takes 3-6 months, during which time the implant becomes a strong and stable foundation for your new tooth.Abutment Placement
Once the implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, an abutment (a small connector) will be placed on top of the implant. This piece connects the implant to the final restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.Final Restoration
After the abutment is placed, your final restoration (a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture) will be attached to complete the implant procedure. This restoration is designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The entire process typically takes several months, as it involves multiple steps. The initial placement of the implant usually takes 1-2 hours, while the healing process can take 3-6 months before the final restoration is placed.
The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the surgery. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur after the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Most people who are in good overall health and have adequate bone density in their jaw are good candidates for dental implants. If you have been told you lack sufficient bone, we offer options like bone grafting to help make implants possible.
Dental implants provide a more secure, stable, and natural-looking solution compared to traditional dentures or bridges. They also help prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur with missing teeth, and are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
Caring for dental implants is very similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly, visit us for routine checkups, and avoid habits like smoking to ensure the long-term success of your implants.
