What are dental implants?

Why Planet Family Dental? Dr. Sheth combines expertise with personalized care to deliver implant results that look and feel natural.
What happens during a dental implant consultation?

Dr. Sheth works closely with you to determine the best options for restoring your smile. To find out if you're a candidate in Lynnwood, WA, we perform a thorough exam, review your medical history, and take digital X-rays to screen for bone loss or infections.
How does the dental implant procedure work?
The implant process has four main steps. First, you receive an exam and treatment plan. Second, the dentist places the implant post into your jawbone. Third, the implant heals and fuses with the bone over several weeks. Finally, an abutment and crown are attached to complete your new tooth.
Consultation and Qualification — The first step is a comprehensive consultation and examination. This includes thoroughly reviewing your medical history, an oral examination, and imaging studies such as digital X-rays or a CT scan. Dr. Sheth uses this information to assess your jawbone density, gum health, and overall candidacy for implants.
Implant Placement — Once Dr. Sheth has determined you're a good candidate, the next step is to surgically place the implant. This involves inserting a titanium post into the jawbone to serve as the new tooth's root. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the process is.
Healing and Integration — After placement, you'll need a healing period. This allows for osseointegration — when the implant fuses with the bone. Depending on individual healing rates and bone quality, this can take several weeks to a few months. During this time, a temporary restoration may be placed so you're never without a tooth.
Abutment and Crown Placement — Once the implant fully integrates with the bone, Dr. Sheth will install the abutment, which holds the prosthetic tooth. Finally, a custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration. The crown is designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless result. Dr. Sheth will work closely with you throughout the process to ensure you're comfortable and informed, providing detailed instructions for care and recovery at every stage.
