Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth, acting as artificial roots that fuse with bone through osseointegration. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants restore up to 90% of natural biting force, allowing you to enjoy steak, apples, and sticky candies without hesitation. They prevent bone loss, preserve facial structure, and eliminate the need for adhesives or adjustments. For active individuals—whether hiking, public speaking, or laughing at a comedy show—implants provide unwavering stability.
The process begins with a consultation at Care Dental Implant & Cosmetic Center, where Dr. Drew Phillips uses 3D imaging to assess bone density and plan precise implant placement. Patients with insufficient bone may require grafting, a procedure Dr. Phillips seamlessly integrates into treatment timelines. Implants boast a 95% success rate, lasting decades with proper care. Imagine attending a family reunion or job interview without hiding your smile—implants offer confidence that transcends aesthetics.
2. From Consultation to Completion: Your Implant Journey Simplified
The implant process unfolds in stages: initial assessment, bone grafting (if needed), implant placement, and crown attachment. Dr. Phillips prioritizes minimally invasive techniques, often using guided surgery with robotic tools for millimeter-perfect accuracy. Temporary crowns or dentures maintain your smile during the 3–6 month healing period, while the jawbone fuses with the titanium post. Sedation options ensure comfort, transforming anxiety into a stress-free experience.
Post-op care is straightforward: avoid hard foods initially, practice gentle brushing, and attend follow-ups to monitor healing. One marathon runner resumed training within days, crediting Dr. Phillips’ clear aftercare instructions. Once healed, custom crowns—crafted from durable, natural-looking materials—are attached. These crowns blend seamlessly with your smile, whether you’re sipping coffee at a local café or posing for photos at a wedding.
