A dental implant in Aurora is a surgical procedure which involves the replacement of a tooth’s root due to damage. Tooth implants are inserted and secured surgically to the mouth. These implants are barely noticeable once secured into the jawbone. Dental implants are utilized to secure crowns, which supplant missing teeth; additionally, they also secure bridges and/or dentures. Dental tooth implants are produced using titanium, a safe metal used as a part of numerous dental procedures. Generally, our body will tolerate this type of metal well, this results in a high success rate for implanted surgical devices. When a tooth implant is put into the jawbone, it is fused in; this is the most natural that you can get without placing a natural tooth in the mouth. The reason for this is that the tooth implant is stable enough to be placed on its own without affecting any neighbouring teeth.

There are many of advantages to getting tooth implants at our Aurora dental office.

Each patient would need to have an individual plan developed for them as everyone’s mouth and teeth are different; the plan would target the patient’s specific need for tooth implants. The dentist starts out by placing the implant into the empty bone socket, where the natural tooth was extracted; once the implant is given time to bond with the jawbone, another connector is attached to the tooth to hold it in place. The healing process for this is approximately 12 weeks, depending on the patient. There is very little discomfort for the patient when the procedure is completed, local anesthesia is used on the patient during the procedure and they can take over the counter medications such as Advil or Tylenol to help with the pain afterwards.
