Once you have them placed you\u2019ll be able to eat the foods you always loved and flash the smile you remembered having to your friends and family. However, many people don\u2019t know much about the procedure of getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dixhillsdentist.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants in Dix Hills<\/a>, so your dentist wanted to outline the process for you.<\/p>\n<p>Once you know this, you\u2019ll be far more informed prior to your consultation, a stage that is necessary when pursuing a treatment as extensive as dental implants.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Are You Eligible for Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>Being eligible for dental implants doesn\u2019t have too many requirements. However, meeting them is important to increase the chances of successful implantation. Patients who have the following will likely be eligible for dental implants in Dix Hills:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have healthy gums<\/li>\n<li>You have generally good oral health<\/li>\n<li>You have enough bone to support an implant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During your consultation, your dentist will be able to confirm your eligibility. If they determine you are, you\u2019ll be referred to an oral surgeon outside of the office who will place your implant.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Surgery Like?<\/h2>\n<p>Surgery for dental implants is straightforward. Once you arrive, you\u2019ll be given local anesthesia before the surgery takes place. Depending on how many implants you intend on getting, it can take as little as an hour to complete. Once the surgery is finished, you\u2019ll be given painkillers to help manage any discomfort you\u2019re feeling.<\/p>\n<h2>When Do I Get My Permanent Crown?<\/h2>\n<p>Before your dentist in Dix Hills can place your permanent crown, your implant needs to undergo a process known as osteointegration. This is the process in which your biocompatible implant integrates with your existing bone. This process, along with the healing process, takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months to complete. It\u2019s very important that you keep good oral hygiene and avoid using any tobacco products during this process.<\/p>\n<p>Once this process is complete, you\u2019ll return to Dr. Gaur\u2019s office to have your permanent restoration placed. Pretty soon, you\u2019ll be reaping the many benefits that dental implants have to offer.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do I Care for My Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n<p>Your new implant doesn\u2019t need to be cared for any differently than your natural teeth. However, you\u2019ll want to make sure you floss daily if you don\u2019t already. This works to remove food particles that can get around the base of your restoration and implant.<\/p>\n<p>Bacteria love to stick to food and multiply, but this is easily avoidable through daily brushing, flossing, and seeing your dentist every six months for cleanings and examinations. Dr. Gaur will make sure that your implant is in good shape and healed properly as well.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know what to expect, there\u2019s no reason for you to put off your consultation any longer. Schedule it with your dentist today and begin the path to a healthier smile!<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dixhillsdentist.com\/meet-dr-raj-gaur.html\">Dr. Raj Gaur<\/a> is the owner of Dix Hills Dentistry and has been in the industry for nearly 10 years.
