Reasons to Choose Dental Implants
Here are a few benefits of dental implants:
- Long-lasting: Titanium dental implants are corrosion-resistant and designed to last a long time with proper care. Titanium is often the preferred material for implants due to its durability and compatibility with hard tissues, such as the jaw bone.
- Less discomfort: Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and firmly hold onto existing teeth. This makes them more comfortable to wear than dentures and helps improve overall oral health.
- Beautiful smile: Dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth so you can be sure that your smile looks gorgeous. The perfect dental implant placement will transform your smile.

What to Expect With Dental Implants
If you’ve made up your mind to get dental implants, here’s what to expect:
- The dental implant process: The process begins with the initial consultation to determine if the dental implant method is the best solution. This is followed by taking impressions of your teeth and jawbone with visual scanners that are used to make the crown. During the implant surgery procedure, a titanium post will be inserted into your jawbone. A temporary crown is put in place while you wait for it to heal and fuse with your jawbone before the permanent crown is placed on top.
- Dental implants cost: The cost of implant surgery varies depending on the number of implants and the complexity of your treatment plan. Your dentist will discuss all relevant expenses with you beforehand, including dental implant insurance coverage.
- Recovery period: Your implants are expected to heal completely within three to six months. However, the initial fusing of the implant to the jawbone happens within seven to ten days of surgery.

How Dental Implants Work
Implant dentistry is a popular and painless way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants have two main components:
- The Implant – A small man-made “root” or “implant” that is placed in the jawbone,
- The Tooth – A custom-made tooth (or set of teeth) that is attached to the implant.
In the first phase, the dental implant is placed into the jawbone. This is a comfortable procedure and local anesthetics are all that is required to ensure that you’ll feel no pain.
After your dental implants are placed, a period of approximately 12 weeks is generally used to allow the bone and the implant to integrate. There is no sensation when an implant is present in your jaw. Your dental implants will become a completely accepted part of your body without danger of rejection.
After this period, the laboratory will make the custom tooth (or teeth) and Dr. Wilhite will affix them onto the implant. Once the new teeth are in place, you will have follow-up appointments with Dr. Wilhite as needed for any necessary refinements.
