Three Easy Steps To A Stunning Smile
So how does the dental implant process work? If you currently have missing or damaged teeth, the first step is to call Ora Dental Implant Studio and schedule a consultation at our Elk Grove, CA, location. Dr. Dalla will conduct a full oral examination, at which point he will be able to determine which dental implant procedure (if any) is best for you and your condition. In some instances, patients may need to have teeth extracted prior to a full mouth restoration. Bone grafting treatments may also be necessary, which helps to build up enough bone mass in order for the implant post to be accepted. If you are considering the life-changing benefits of dental implants, here are the three simple steps you can expect prior to enjoying your perfect new smile:
- Pre-Implant Screening, Impressions, And Pre-Implant Treatments
- As stated above, the first step of the tooth implant process is to come in for your initial consultation with Dr. Dalla. During the consultation, our team of implant specialists will determine which procedures need to be taken prior to scheduling of the implant surgery. This will fully depend on the state of your current oral health, and may involve a simple bone grafting procedure and/or tooth extraction(s). During this visit Dr. Dalla will also take a detailed impression of your oral arch, which will be used to fabricate your brand new set of custom teeth right here in our in-house dental lab.
- Implant Surgery
- Upon completion of your pre-implant procedure(s), you will be ready to come into our Elk Grove, CA dental implant office for surgical placement of the implant posts and placement of the temporary restorations. This is a simple one-day procedure, and thanks to our advanced anesthesia options, it is entirely painless for most patients. After surgery, you will walk out of our office with temporary restorations and a beautiful, perfect new smile! Temporary restorations offer 100% functionality with no dietary restrictions, and they look and feel just like the final end product.
- Placement Of The Final Restoration
- After several months of healing (which is mandatory in order for the jaw to permanently fuse with the implant), you will be ready to come back in for placement of the final zirconia restoration arch!
