Your dentist will provide your initial evaluation when you receive your dental implant, and they can recommend a trusted oral surgeon to insert it. Once you have healed from this procedure, your restoration can be attached. It should be noted that different patients will need different recovery times. While you heal, your jawbone will actually fuse to the implant.
A lifelike dental prosthetic can make your smile appear whole again. This can make you look younger and healthier, and give you more confidence. However, the benefits of prosthetic work are not merely cosmetic. Restoring your smile can also make it easier to bite and chew – an implant-supported prosthetic will be particularly helpful in this regard. An implant will also help you avoid problems with your jawbone. Patients who leave tooth loss unaddressed, or those who have a prosthetic without an implant, can suffer from a deterioration of the bone. This can lead to a negative impact on your oral heath, and cause your face to take on a sunken appearance.
