How Does a Dental Implant Work

How Does a Dental Implant Work?
The easiest way to think of a dental implant is to imagine it is an artificial tooth root as its design closely imitates the structure of a natural tooth. In contrast, your natural teeth are best described as having two separate parts: the tooth root and the crown of the tooth seen above the gums.

Three Piece Dental Implant Design
Most dental implants we use in the NYC dentistry center are made from three separate pieces, with one part being the final restoration that will replace the missing tooth or teeth. Dental implant in NYC is also completed in several different phases.

Dental implants usually have three main components: the implant post or screw, the abutment, and the tooth restoration, but there are other variations or components of dental implants.

Dental Implant Treatment Phases
After assessing you, Dr. Rahmani carefully plans the implant surgery before creating an opening in the gum tissue so the implant post can be inserted directly into the jawbone.

- Once the implant is placed, it is generally covered up with a healing cap and will be left to integrate with your jawbone fully.

- Osseointegration, integration process that will take place between the living bone and the surface of your implant. Your new implant will generally need between two to four months for osseointegration to be completed.

- The second stage of treatment will involve attaching the abutment to the implant. The easiest way to think of an abutment is being like a tiny, stubby tooth that protrudes just above your gum line. If you have ever had a tooth prepared for a crown, an abutment can look very similar.

- During the final phase of dental implant treatment, your new tooth will be made and fitted in place.
