What to know about the procedure for getting Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the most popular and versatile tooth replacement options available today. The process for getting dental implants placed takes a few visits over the course of several months, but with the unparalleled functionality, aesthetics, and oral health benefits that dental implants offer, patients typically find it well worth the wait! At Dentistry On 10 in Mississauga, Ontario, Dr. Rina Kotecha offers implant solutions for patients missing anywhere from one tooth to a full arch of missing teeth. Read on to learn more about the procedure for getting dental implants placed.

Determining whether you are a good candidate

The first step in determining whether you are a good candidate for dental implants is a consultation with your dentist. Dr. Rina Kotecha will evaluate your current oral health and talk with you about your goals and treatment preferences before recommending tooth replacement options that are a good fit for your needs. During the consultation, we will also talk with you about the cost and answer any questions that you may have about the procedure and its pros and cons for your unique situation.

Placing the dental implant

The process for placing and finishing a dental implant takes a few steps:

  • Surgical placement of the implant: After numbing the area to ensure you are pain-free and comfortable, Dr. Rina Kotecha will make an incision in your gums and then surgically place the implant in the jawbone. As the implant heals, it will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, which typically takes a few months.
  • Abutment placement: After healing, a small piece called an abutment is placed on the implant, which is where your final tooth restoration will connect to the implant.
  • Final tooth restoration placement: The final step is to place your beautiful new tooth or teeth on the implant. This may be a crown for a single missing tooth, a bridge for multiple teeth, or a denture for a full arch of teeth.

Procedure – Gum Disease Testimonial

Hi, my name is Naren. I have been coming to dentistry on 10 for at least five years, probably a lot longer than that. I first heard about Doctor Rena, through a friend of mine who was my roommate back in college and the, the, thing that attracted me to her right off the bat is she went to Harvard of course, you know Harvard is one of the top schools in the world, so you know studying at Harvard and Learning dentistry Harvard, I’ve never met anybody who went to Harvard, so that was the number one thing. But when I came here, it’s not the Harvard that I ended up staying here for. It’s because she’s a very caring person and she has a team that really is caring. So, for example, you know I, I, have some health conditions and you know taking care of my gums is really, really, important and I’m like not that good at taking care of myself. So you know she just, just, stuck with me, just kept at me and, you know, just taught me things and talk to me about things and you know. And when I did, you know, kind of mess up and you know, get gum disease again. You know she you know, stuck with me. So, like for me personally, I know people come for dentistry for lots of reasons, some people you know, care about their smile and things like that. For me personally, it’s the health because I have a history of health issues in my family and I know the importance of, you know, taking care of your gums and you overall mouth and health so I would strongly recommend Doctor Rena if you really care about your health. If you really want somebody who’s not just trying to, you know, give you things you don’t need, but really, who’s trying to focus on what’s good for you, helping you achieve your goals. She’s very caring, very, very patient, very, very, gentle and, and, she’s there for you. So, it’s almost like having a partner in health who’s working with you to make your life better. So, we all need it, and especially as we get older when we are in our 40s and 50s, we need to take care of our health and without doctor Rena I don’t think I would have the comes I have and I don’t think I would be working on my health. Thank you very much Doctor Rena and I would, absolutely without a hesitation, recommend anybody and my entire family comes here as well as my two kids and My wife. So, thank you for being an amazing dentist and thank you for caring about people who live in the neighbourhood and their health.
