How Do Our Arlington Dental Implants Work?

1. The Implant Post

The dental implant process at our Arlington location starts with the placement of a tiny titanium post into your jawbone, surgically inserted by our oral surgeon. This acts as the tooth root, to which the crown will be attached to. 

2. The Abutment

Once the implant post has bonded with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, an abutment is attached. The abutment is fitted on top of the implant post and extends through the gum line, giving your dentist enough room to secure your custom crown.

3. The Crown

The final step of the implant placement is the custom dental crown. Your dentist will craft your crown to match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth. Your new crown will blend in with the rest of your smile, and your replacement tooth will function just like your natural teeth.

Types of Dental Implants At Our Arlington Office

Dental implants are a fantastic restorative dentistry solution to replace one or more missing teeth. There are several types of dental implants that can be used to restore a smile that’s been damaged by missing teeth.

We’re proud to offer the following implant options:

  • Single-Tooth Implants

    Perfect for replacing one missing tooth, single-tooth implants consist of a titanium post placed in the jawbone with a custom crown attached. This durable solution matches your natural teeth in both strength and appearance.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges

    When multiple adjacent teeth are missing, implant bridges provide excellent restoration. Unlike traditional bridges, these are anchored by implants rather than natural teeth, preventing jawbone shrinkage while offering superior comfort and stability.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures

    For patients missing all their teeth, implant dentures are transformative. Secured by multiple dental implants, they eliminate the discomfort and embarrassment of traditional dentures. You'll regain confidence in eating and speaking while enjoying a secure, stable fit that won't slip or shift.

What to Expect from Your Dental Implant Procedure

At Cusumano and Stuver, we’re passionate about creating a dental implant experience that is smooth, stress-free, and tailored to your comfort and satisfaction. Our dental implant procedures guarantee precision and exceptional results. 

1

Your Initial Consultation and Examination

Your dental implant journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination. Our team will spend time with you to evaluate the health of your mouth. We use advanced imaging technology, including X-rays and 3D scans, to assess the density of your jawbone and the condition of your remaining teeth. This is also when we’ll discuss your goals and desires with you. We’ll use this information to create a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for your needs and goals.

Placing Your Implant Surgery

Once your customized treatment plan is in place, we move on to the surgical phase of your dental implant journey. During this appointment, we’ll place the implant post, also known as the implant fixture, into your jawbone. The implant is designed to mimic the root of a natural tooth and is made of titanium. This small post will serve as the foundation for your new tooth. 

Thanks to advanced technology and effective sedation dentistry, the procedure is relatively quick and comfortable. You’ll be numb in the area, and we’ll work efficiently to minimize any discomfort. After the procedure, you’ll need time to heal before we can place the abutment. This is because the implant needs time to integrate with your jawbone, which is the osseointegration process.

Attaching Your Abutment and Crown

After your implant has integrated with your jawbone, we’re ready to move on to the final stage of your dental implant journey. We’ll attach a small connector piece called an abutment to the top of the implant post. This is what will hold your custom dental crown in place. Your crown is designed to be a perfect replica of your natural teeth. It’s customized to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. 

We’ll also make sure it functions properly so you can bite and chew with ease. Using advanced technology, we’ll carefully craft your crown and attach it to the abutment. You’ll leave our office with a beautiful, natural-looking smile that’s sure to boost your confidence.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, which is why they’re the gold standard in tooth replacement. 

Natural Teeth Function: Dental implants are designed to function just like your natural teeth. You’ll be able to bite, chew, and even talk with confidence.

Prevent Bone Loss: Dentists and prosthodontists praise dental implants for preventing bone loss in the jaw. Traditional dentures and bridges cause bone deterioration because they don’t stimulate the jawbone like natural teeth and dental implants do.

Natural Looking & Beautiful Smile: A dental implant crown is designed to be aesthetically pleasing and very lifelike. You’ll feel confident in your ability to smile big and often.

Lasting & Durable: With proper care, dental implants can last for 20 years or more. They’re an investment in your overall health and well-being.

Easy to Maintain: Caring for dental implants is simple. Just brush, floss, and visit your dentist regularly, just like you would with your natural teeth.
