Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to act as replacement tooth roots. They provide a stable, permanent foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional options, implants don’t shift, slip, or damage surrounding teeth.
You may need dental implants if you:
At Northwood Dental, our experienced implant dentists can assess whether implants are right for you with a comprehensive consultation.
Getting a dental implant is a precise and personalized process. While it varies by case, here’s what you can typically expect:
Implant Placement – The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
Healing Period – Over 3–6 months, the implant naturally fuses with the bone (osseointegration).
Abutment & Restoration – Once healed, a connector (abutment) is placed, and a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached.
Dental implants are designed to last 20 years or more—many patients enjoy them for life with proper care. Their durability makes them a wise investment for long-term oral health.
How to ensure longevity:
Northwood Dental uses premium materials and precise placement techniques to maximize the life of your implants.
Dental implant surgery is generally not considered highly painful. While some discomfort is expected during the recovery period, it's typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and is often less than what patients anticipate.
The procedure for getting a dental implant involves several stages, typically spanning several months. It begins with a consultation and assessment, followed by implant placement surgery, healing and osseointegration, and finally, the attachment of the abutment and artificial tooth.
Dental implant procedures typically involve five stages: initial consultation and planning, implant placement surgery, healing and osseointegration, abutment placement, and final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture). Each stage is crucial for ensuring a successful outcome and a stable, functional replacement for the missing tooth.
The entire dental implant process, from initial consultation to final restoration, typically takes several months.The actual implant placement surgery itself can take 1-2 hours. However, the process also includes time for osseointegration (the implant fusing with the jawbone), which can take 3-6 months, and potentially additional time for bone grafting or other preparatory procedures.
