Dental implants provide a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. By understanding each step, patients can feel confident and prepared for their dental implant journey.
Initial Consultation and Planning in Duncan
The dental implant process starts with a thorough consultation. Dr. Stewart, our highly experienced implant dentist in Duncan, evaluates your oral health, reviews your medical history, and discusses your goals. Then, using advanced imaging techniques, Dr. Stewart carefully plans your treatment.
Dental Implant Placement
After finalizing the treatment plan, Dr. Stewart performs the surgical placement of the dental implant in our state-of-the-art facility. He places the titanium implant into the jawbone, serving as a sturdy foundation for the new tooth.
Healing and Osseointegration
Following the implant placement, you’ll undergo a healing period of several months. During this time, the implant fuses with the jawbone in osseointegration. This is essential for creating a strong, stable base for your new teeth. Our team monitors your progress throughout this phase to ensure everything proceeds smoothly.
Abutment Placement and Restoration
Once the implant fully integrates with the bone, Dr. Stewart attaches an abutment—a small connector piece that secures the final restoration. We then create and place your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.
