Patients in Camas, WA often come to Radiance Dental to replace their missing teeth with dental implants. Having a missing tooth can be embarrassing for many individuals, especially when it is near the front of their mouth and obvious every time they smile. It also makes it difficult to eat when it is a missing molar. Whatever the reason, Dr. Sanjev Sharma will provide a permanent solution to missing teeth with dental implants.
As a root replacement, the dental implant procedure takes a few months to complete, because the gum must be healed completely before placing the crown. It starts with having a titanium metal post implanted into the jaw bone of the missing tooth. This has a screw on the top where the crown will go. It takes about 3-6 months for the healing to be complete, after which the permanent crown is placed over the post. During this time, the jaw bone forms around the implant, making it a permanent option for our patients. The crown is also called an abutment, which looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Implants are favored by many patients because they are permanent and incredibly stable. If you’re interested in learning more about dental implants, contact us today.
