UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS

Dental Implant Placement

Dental implant placement refers to the process of surgically implanting a small titanium post into your gums and jaw. This titanium post is the implant itself, and it’s designed to heal and bond with your surrounding jaw tissue, effectively becoming a permanent part of your mouth. Once the implant heals, You can use it to support various implant-supported restorations. Whether you lost your tooth due to gum disease, injury, or tooth decay, San Jose dental implants can fix the problem and permanently restore your teeth’ functionality!

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Dental Implant Process

The dental implant process begins with a comprehensive oral exam. If Dr. Tuan determines that you are a good candidate for an implant, he will take the necessary x-rays and images of your jaw and mouth to begin developing your treatment plan.
‍
You’ll return in a few weeks for your dental implant placement procedure at our San Jose office. Using your treatment plan, Dr. Tuan will create a small incision in your gums to access your jaw. Your implant will be placed precisely into this opening; then, the area will be cleaned, sanitized, and sutured shut.

Initial recovery takes only about a week, but it takes 3-6 months for the implant to bond (osseointegrate) with the surrounding bone and gum tissue. You’ll come to our San Jose office for a few follow-up appointments during this time, so Dr. Tuan can make sure your dental implant is healing properly. He will take impressions and photos of your mouth and send them to a dental lab, where we’ll build your crown.
‍
Once our team develops your custom crown and your mouth is fully healed, you’ll come in for your final appointment. Dr. Tuan will check the crown and make sure it fits, then bond it permanently into place to restore your smile.

Healing, Recovery, & Aftercare

Implant Surgery

You may experience some discomfort, bruising, and swelling for a few days after your procedure. This is normal and should go away within a week. Dr. Tuan will provide you with a set of recovery and aftercare instructions. Be sure to follow them exactly to ensure that your implant heals properly.
