The dental implant procedure will require a few visits to our Philadelphia area dentist office. Your first visit will be a personalized consultation with Dr. Weinstock or Dr. Waasdorp in which you will discuss your oral health and cosmetic concerns. Dr. Weinstock and Dr. Waasdorp will take the time to listen to you, and help you build a dental implant treatment plan that will both restore your oral health and increase your confidence in your beautiful smile. Dr. Weinstock and Dr. Waasdorp provide comprehensive implant services for quality and consistent results.
The tiny titanium screw will be surgically implanted into your jaw bone. In most cases, Dr. Weinstock or Dr. Waasdorp will fit you with a temporary crown so that you may eat and speak with ease. The implant will take anywhere from 3-8 months to fully heal. As the dental implant heals it fuses with bone creating a permanent bond. Once healed, Dr. Weinstock or Dr. Waasdorp will custom design and fabricate a dental crown that will be permanently attached to your implant. Your dental crown will be color matched and designed to blend in with your natural smile.
While dental implants are highly resistant to discoloration and decay, they depend on healthy bone and gum tissue to succeed. It is important to practice diligent oral hygiene daily to help maintain the health of all of your teeth, natural or prosthetic. Biannual dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings can also help keep your gums and teeth health for years to come.
The dental implant process was very easy!
