3 Questions About Dental Implants
Our Dental Implant Process
When performing your dental implant surgery, we will always begin with a consultation to discuss your smile goals and use a 3D cone beam CT scan to understand the unique structures of your jaw and plan the implant placement. Using this information, we will carefully place the implant post into your jaw by drilling a hole at the location of missing teeth, being cautious to avoid important structures. After the implant has been placed, it can take two to six months for recovery and a dental crown will be permanently attached to provide a natural look and bite.
Drs. Toback and Urbanski have years of periodontal experience and are the professionals when it comes to the hard and soft tissues of the mouth. We understand the complex structures of the mouth and utilize advanced technology to provide our patients with successful dental implant placement for those with missing teeth. Patients who experience dental anxiety or fear often benefit from our use of sedation dentistry, including IV sedation, to give them a relaxing and virtually pain-free implant experience.
