Your front teeth are highly visible when you are smiling, so if you are missing one of them, it is very obvious. This means that you need a strong tooth replacement option that looks and feels natural. Dental implants<\/a> are the best tooth replacement option out there, but do they provide the same results when in the front of the most? The answer is \u2013 yes! Continue reading to learn more about the dental implant process and who is a good candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Is the Process for Getting a Front Tooth Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t already lost your front tooth, the first step is to have your damaged tooth extracted. After this, the area takes several months to completely heal. This allows for the bone to fill in and solidify to the point that it is more likely to support an implant successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, a screw-like dental implant is precisely placed in the jawbone. The implant needs some time to fuse with the jawbone in a process called \u201cosseointegration.\u201d If the bone doesn\u2019t have enough time to densify, it is more likely that you will experience a dental implant failure. During the osseointegration period, your implant will be covered by a protective cap to protect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After three to six months, your dental implant will have fused to the bone and will be ready to support your new replacement tooth. Your dentist will place a metal connector piece called an \u201cabutment\u201d to the end of your implant so the replacement tooth can be secured in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
