Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants might be the perfect solution if:
- You are missing one or more teeth and want a permanent solution.
- You’re frustrated with the discomfort of traditional dentures.
- You struggle with chewing, speaking, or smiling confidently due to gaps in your teeth.
- Your jawbone is strong and healthy enough to support implants (or you’re eligible for a bone graft).
- You desire a low-maintenance, long-term option for restoring your smile.
At Prairie Oral Surgery, we evaluate every patient individually. If you’re unsure if dental implants suit your situation, we’ll tailor a treatment plan that meets your needs and provides the best outcomes.
The Dental Implant Process
We know the idea of oral surgery can feel overwhelming, but our experienced team ensures every procedure is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here’s what the process looks like:
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation where we’ll assess your oral health, take digital X-rays, and use advanced imaging tools like our CAD/CAM Scanner and Photogrammetry technology. These enable us to create a detailed treatment plan tailored to you.
Step 2: Implant Placement
We will securely place your implant (the titanium post) into the jawbone. We use the latest technology for precision and routine surgical guidance, ensuring comfort.
Step 3: Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with your jawbone in osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
Step 4: Abutment and Crown
Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and your custom crown is placed on top. The result? A beautifully restored smile.
From start to finish, our team will be by your side to answer questions, provide support, and ensure your comfort.
Caring for Your Dental Implants
Proper aftercare is crucial for success. At Prairie Oral Surgery in Fargo, we provide clear instructions and ongoing support to help you maintain your implants. Key tips include:
- Brushing twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Flossing around your implants to remove plaque.
- Scheduling regular check-ups and cleanings with your dentist.
- Avoiding hard or sticky foods that may damage the crown.
Our team is available to address any concerns, ensuring your dental implants remain in optimum condition for years.
