How Is A Dental Implant Done?
Osseointegration is a process by which implants made of titanium metals get fused with the jawbone. The jawbone healing takes six to twelve weeks to heal. After this phase comes to the implant restoration phase. During this process, the dentist would attach an abutment post to the newly secured implant. The custom-built artificial crown would be fixated to the post restoring your missing tooth.
Your dentist takes the impressions of your teeth to make a new tooth or teeth. Then the model of your teeth is created. Once the tooth/ teeth are ready, it is attached to the abutment, known as the crown. The color of your tooth/teeth is also matched to make it look natural.
How Is It Felt During Dental Implants?
Most people who have gone through dental implants reported that they only faced a little discomfort, and soon it was all back to normal. Some patients say that implants are less painful than a tooth extraction. When placing the implant, the dentist may use local anesthesia.
After the procedure, you might face mild soreness, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications. Pain relievers may be purchased in case the dentist prescribes them.
