Perhaps you\u2019ve had full or partial dentures for many years now, but don\u2019t want to settle for them any longer. Either way, if you\u2019re reading about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milwaukeedentalimplants.com\/implant-dentistry.html\">dental implants in Milwaukee<\/a>, then you\u2019ve just found the best option for replacing your teeth, getting your eating habits back, and smiling like you always did.<\/p>\n<p>There are few replacement options in dentistry as effective and aesthetically pleasing as dental implants. Let\u2019s take a moment to learn about the process of receiving implants so that you know what to expect before visiting your dentist.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>During your dental implant consultation, your dentist will ask you questions to determine if implants are right for you. The most important step your dentist takes is determining if you have enough bone density in your mouth to receive implants. If not, they may recommend a bone graft to increase your chances of successful implantation.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you may not be eligible if you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smoke or use any other forms of tobacco<\/li>\n<li>Have uncontrolled diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Have autoimmune diseases or take medications for these conditions<\/li>\n<li>Have had radiation therapy to the head or neck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your body needs to be able to heal the implant effectively, otherwise it won\u2019t take as well as it should.<\/p>\n<h2>The Initial Procedure<\/h2>\n<p>Once your dentist determines you are eligible and you\u2019ve discuss how many dental implants you\u2019d like to get, they\u2019ll schedule the first step of your dental implant process. On the day of your first procedure, the following steps will take place:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, you\u2019ll be given antibiotics and pain medicine prior to the surgery. You\u2019ll also be given local anesthesia or sedatives if needed to help relax you.<\/li>\n<li>During the surgery, your dentist will then make an incision in your gums, exposing the bone. They\u2019ll drill a hole into the bone to make room for the titanium implant itself.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, they\u2019ll place the implant and stitch the area closed, allowing you time to heal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The initial healing process takes about 7 to 10 days. Once you get your stitches removed, you\u2019ll need to care for the implant area for several months while the implant effectively integrates with your existing bone. If the implant is visible, you\u2019ll be given a temporary restoration to cover it. However, implants are typically underneath gum tissue and therefore hidden.<\/p>\n<h2>The Final Stages<\/h2>\n<p>Once several months have passed and the implant has integrated, you\u2019ll have your second appointment to have the protective screw on your implant replaced with a healing cap. This maintains space and allows your gum to heal correctly around the implant.<\/p>\n<p>After your permanent restorations are made, which can take a few weeks, you\u2019ll come back to have them placed. Dental implants are incredibly versatile and can be used with crowns, bridges, and even dentures.
