How The Process Works
We break the implant process into clear, manageable steps so you feel in control from day one. First, we perform a thorough exam and review your dental history. Next, we use imaging and planning to determine the best position for the implant. The implant is placed into the jawbone, where it bonds and becomes stable. Finally, we attach a crown that matches your teeth. Each step has built-in checks for comfort and function.
- Initial exam, X-rays, and digital scans
- Implant placement and follow-up appointments
- Final crown placement after healing
An implant acts like a new tooth root and supports a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Implants prevent nearby teeth from shifting and help preserve jawbone over time. Most patients tolerate the procedure well and report that the results make daily routines easier. We use the CBCT Scanner and iTero Digital Scanner to plan placement and design crowns that fit precisely. Our goal is careful attention to detail so the implant fits your mouth and your life.
Technology That Helps Your Care
Technology makes implant treatment more predictable and comfortable. The CBCT Scanner gives us a 3D view of your jawbone. Digital X-ray and intraoral camera images help us explain findings during your visit. The iTero Digital Scanner captures accurate impressions without messy materials. These tools reduce surprises and let us coordinate with your lab for faster, better-fitting crowns. Dr. Grant Fowler reviews the scans and discusses the virtual plan with you before any surgery.
Who Is A Good Candidate?
Many adults who are missing one or more teeth qualify for implants. Good candidates have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support an implant, though bone grafting can help when needed. We evaluate overall health, medications, and oral habits to recommend the right approach. Dental Implants are often recommended when patients want a long-term replacement that protects nearby tooth structure.
- Signs you might consider an implant: a missing tooth, difficulty chewing, or shifting teeth next to an empty space
We explain alternatives and the likely outcomes so you can make a clear choice.
Recovery And Long-Term Care
Recovery after implant placement varies, but most people return to normal activities within a few days. You may have swelling or mild discomfort for a short time; we provide aftercare instructions and monitor healing. Once the implant bonds to the jawbone, we place the final crown and check your bite. Long-term care looks like regular brushing, flossing, and routine checkups at Jamison Dental Care. We teach techniques to clean around the implant and protect the surrounding gumline.
