Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants consist of three essential components:

  • Implant Fixture: A biocompatible titanium post expertly inserted into your jawbone, providing a robust foundation for the artificial tooth.

​

  • Abutment: The abutment acts as the connector that links the implant fixture to the crown.

    ​

  • Crown: A customized crown is the final piece, meticulously crafted to replicate the look and function of your natural teeth.

The Dental Implant Process

The journey to dental implants involves several key steps:

Initial Consultation

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation at Auckland Family Dental. During this initial assessment, your oral health is thoroughly evaluated, and a personalized treatment plan is meticulously crafted to address your unique needs.

Implant Placement

Our surgical experts execute the precise placement of the implant fixture into your jawbone. This critical procedure demands skill and precision, ensuring a solid foundation for your new tooth.

Healing Period

Following implant placement, a healing period is essential. During this time, the implant undergoes osseointegration, a process where it fuses with the jawbone, guaranteeing a durable and stable base for the crown.

Abutment Attachment

Once full integration is achieved, the abutment is meticulously attached, serving as the intermediary between the implant fixture and the crown.

Crown Installation

Finally, the customized crown is secured onto the abutment, delivering a natural and aesthetically pleasing replacement for your missing tooth.
