At The Dental Studio, located at 9020 Senca Drive in Wilmington, NC, dental implant placement is a key service designed to restore confidence and functionality to smiles affected by tooth loss. With the expertise of Dr. Jacob Long, our cosmetic dentistry team employs advanced techniques to ensure patients receive top-notch care tailored to their specific needs.

Understanding the process of dental implant placement can significantly ease concerns for those considering this transformative procedure. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you navigate what to expect during your journey toward a healthier smile.

  • Initial Consultation: During the first visit, Dr. Long will evaluate oral health, discuss medical history, and determine if dental implants are suitable for the patient. This assessment is crucial for planning the procedure effectively.
  • Treatment Planning: After confirming candidacy for implants, a detailed treatment plan will be developed. This plan may include additional procedures, such as bone grafting, if necessary to support the implants.
  • Surgical Placement: The next step involves placing the implant itself. Dr. Long will carefully insert the titanium post into the jawbone under local anesthesia. This post will serve as the root of the new tooth.
  • Healing Period: After placement, there is typically a healing period of several months, during which osseointegration occurs—this is when the implant fuses with the bone, providing a sturdy foundation for the crown.
  • Crown Placement: Once healing is complete, a custom crown will be affixed to the implant. This crown is designed to match the surrounding teeth for a seamless appearance.

Patients often share their positive experiences with the dental implant process at The Dental Studio. One satisfied visitor noted, “I am thrilled with my new implants! The staff was fantastic every step of the way.” Such reviews showcase the dedication of our team to providing a welcoming and supportive environment.
