How Do Dental Implants<\/a> Work?<\/h2>\n

Dental implants<\/a> are actually replacement tooth roots, made of tiny biocompatible titanium posts. They can provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. The first step in the dental implant<\/a> process is a consultation with Dr. Cobb<\/a>. If your customized dental treatment plan ivolves a recommendation for implants, Dr. Cobb will refer you to a dental office that specializes in dental implant placement. The specialist will place the dental implant<\/a> into the jaw bone socket of your missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it will fuse with your bone and anchor the implant securely in your mouth. This healing process can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. Once the implant has completely bonded, a connector will be added so that your new crown or denture can be attached to your implant. Dr. Cobb<\/a> will take detailed impressions of your teeth to create a new prosthetic tooth or denture. Once your new tooth is attached you can immediately begin enjoying a newly restored and completed smile.<\/p>\n
