The dental implant restoration process typically spans several months, depending on individual patient needs.
The Process for Getting a Dental Implant
Getting a dental implant restoration is a multi-step process that requires precision and expertise. Once we determine you are a good candidate, the next step is implant placement by a respected specialist in our area.
The team at Wilmette Dental Institute works closely with you throughout the process to restore your smile and improve your oral health. The process begins with the initial placement of your implant by a respected specialist in our area.
A healing period follows, where the biocompatible titanium implant fuses with the bone and tissue around it. This is called osseointegration and typically takes 3–6 months.
After the implant heals, Dr. Nolan restores function and appearance with a custom-crafted dental crown. If you have multiple tooth replacements, he may recommend an implant bridge or denture to restore your smile.
Is a Dental Implant the Right Choice for You?
While the entire process can take six months or longer, a dental implant can last a lifetime, making it an excellent investment in your oral health. If you have questions or want to see if you are a good candidate, please call our Wilmette, IL, dental office to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Nolan.
We look forward to helping you regain a complete smile!
