DENTAL IMPLANTS INDIANAPOLIS, IN

For most patients, dental implant placement involves two surgical procedures. First, we place dental implants within your jaw bone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jaw bone. You may wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your restorative dentist designs the final bridgework or denture, which will ultimately improve both function and aesthetics.

After the dental implant has bonded to the jaw bone, the second phase begins. The surgeon uncovers the implants and attaches a small healing collar. Dr. Bryan Sigg D.D.S. can then start making your new teeth. We take a dental impression, then attach posts to the implants. After the replacement teeth are made, we attach them to the post. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.
