Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a stable foundation. A custom crown is then attached to the implant, completing your restoration with beautiful, lasting results.
At SolSmile Lounge, we understand that the idea of dental surgery can feel overwhelming. That’s why Dr. Patel takes time to educate you about every step of the process, answer your questions, and ensure you feel completely comfortable before moving forward. Our advanced 3D imaging technology allows us to plan your treatment with precision, while our sedation options help anxious patients relax throughout their procedure.
Comprehensive Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Patel evaluates your oral health, reviews your medical history, and discusses your goals. Using our advanced 3D imaging technology, we assess your jawbone density and plan your implant placement with precision. We’ll walk you through the entire process, explain your sedation options, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and budget.
Implant Placement
During the placement procedure, Dr. Patel surgically inserts a titanium post into your jawbone. This serves as the root of your new tooth. The procedure is performed with precision and care, and sedation dentistry is available to ensure your comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure and a smooth recovery afterward.
Healing and Osseointegration
After placement, your implant needs time to fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This typically takes 3-6 months and creates the strong, stable foundation necessary for your new tooth. During this time, you can wear a temporary restoration if needed.
Crown Placement
Once your implant has fully integrated, Dr. Patel attaches a custom-made crown that matches your natural teeth perfectly. Your new tooth is now complete—strong, beautiful, and ready to last a lifetime.
