WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are a superior long-term restorative treatment for replacing a missing tooth, restoring both the crown and the root of the tooth by implanting a titanium post into the jaw bone. Over 3-6 months, the jaw bone grows around the implant and fuses together through osseointegration. This implant holds the full tooth restoration securely in place, preventing shifting. Contact your local dentist in McKinney to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dennis Lee.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR PREVENTIVE DENTAL APPOINTMENT

CONSULTATION
Dr. Lee will determine if you’re a good candidate for implants by taking x-rays to look at the density of your jaw bone. Inadequate jaw bone density may require bone grafting.

IMPLANT PLACEMENT
We’ll administer local anesthesia before making an incision into your gums and placing a titanium post in your jaw bone.

HEALING & OSSEOINTEGRATION
It will take 3-6 months for the osseointegration process to be complete, in which the implant becomes fused with the jaw bone.

SECOND ORAL SURGERY
After your jaw is fully healed and osseointegration has been complete, we will reopen your gums to attach an abutment to the implant. Impressions of your teeth are used to create your dental crown.

ATTACHING THE DENTAL CROWN
Your dental crown will be ready within 6 weeks of your second oral surgery and will be attached to the abutment to complete your tooth restoration.

BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants have so many advantages over other restorative procedures. Implants are the only restoration that can preserve the jaw bone and prevent the bone loss that results from losing teeth, while dentures can actually accelerate this process. They also last for 25 years to life except for replacing the dental crown. Other benefits of implants include the following:
- Low maintenance
- Look and feel like real teeth
- Fully restore the function of your tooth
- Secured in place to prevent shifting
- No dietary restrictions
- Don’t affect your ability to speak clearly
- Prevent facial sagging
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
Two minor oral surgeries are performed for dental implants. The initial oral surgery is the placement of the titanium post and takes 3-6 months to fully heal and become fused with the jaw bone. Then, the gums are reopened to attach the abutment which can take anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks to heal. You will then be ready for the placement of your dental crown within a few weeks to fully restore your tooth.

DID YOU KNOW…
It takes an average of 4 weeks to recover from your implant surgeries.
