How long does the dental implant process take from start to finish?

Targeted Infection Relief: Completely clear away the hardened plaque and bacterial biofilm hiding deep beneath the gumline where toothbrushes and floss cannot reach.
Proactive Tooth Saving: Shrink deep gum pockets and smooth out rough tooth roots to allow your gum tissue to firmly re-attach, protecting you from premature tooth extractions.
Total Comfort Focus: Dr. Joseph Wareham, DMD, utilizes gentle, localized numbing agents to ensure your deep cleaning experience is entirely relaxed and completely pain-free.
The Systemic Connection: Managing gum disease reduces your body&#39;s overall inflammation, protecting you from linked systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes.

Dental Implants Procedure in Lithia, FL: The Steps


	Initial Consultation: At this stage, you meet with the dentist to determine your candidacy, costs, and whether you require pre-implant procedures, such as gum treatment or bone grafting. This is also a great time to share any concerns with the dentist. 
	Pre-Implant Procedures (In Some Cases): If you require pre-treatments, the dentist will handle them before your implant surgery. 
	Dental Implant Surgery: On the day of your implant surgery, we ensure you&rsquo;re comfortable and use image-guided technology to place the dental implant roots securely into the jawbone. 
	Recovery and Integration: Over the next few months, the implant posts integrate into the jawbone, creating a stable environment for your replacement smile. 
	New Tooth or Prosthetic Placement: We can place a single tooth crown or (using up to six implants) secure a custom denture to the jaw.


After the final step, you&rsquo;re free to enjoy your new smile.
