Dental Implants for Seniors

The dental implant process typically takes several months and involves several steps. During your initial consultation, our dentist will examine your mouth and jawbone to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. Once we’ve determined that dental implants are right for you, we will surgically place the titanium posts into your jawbone. It takes several months for the implants to fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, we may provide temporary restorations to help you eat and speak normally.

Once the implants have fused with the jawbone, we will place the permanent dental crowns, bridges, or dentures onto the posts. These restorations are customized to fit your mouth and match the color of your existing teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking result.

Proper aftercare is essential to the success and longevity of your dental implants. We recommend that you brush and floss your teeth regularly, visit our office for regular checkups and cleanings, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and wear a mouthguard if you participate in contact sports.
