Dentist Northridge CA, Dr. Davis Shannon, speaks about dental implants and how the dental procedure is completed. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root used to support restoration of a missing tooth or teeth, helping to stop or prevent jaw bone loss. To determine if dental implants are right for you, a consultation with your dentist or oral surgeon will be necessary. This may involve X-rays. The treatment could involve immediate implant and restoration placement in the same appointment. In some instances, a series of procedures may be required to place tissue and bone grafting materials, allow time for healing, place the implant and allow it to integrate with the bone, and then place the restoration. Depending on the situation, your dental professional will advise you on how long the entire treatment process will take.
