Post-Operative Instructions: Dental Implants | Provo UT | Utah Surgical Arts

Dental implants are a contemporary method of tooth replacement and the preferred choice among patients with missing teeth in Provo, UT. A small medical-grade titanium post is surgically inserted directly into the jaw bone and acts as a replacement root or anchor for the replacement tooth. The advantage of a medical-grade titanium post is that it will not corrode, and its properties allow it to integrate or permanently fuse to the surrounding bone. Another small post, or abutment, attaches to the top of the implant, providing a sturdy anchor for your replacement crown.

Utah Surgical Arts Practice Administrator, Lindsay Knapp, explains proper post surgical care for dental implant placement. It is imperative that you follow these instructions carefully to maximize your healing and improve the long-term outcome of your dental implants.
