Losing a tooth, or a few teeth, can make everyday things feel just a bit harder. Eating your favorite foods might not be as easy, talking could feel awkward, and smiling might not feel as carefree as it should. At CityTooth, we believe everyone deserves a complete, healthy smile they can feel confident sharing with the world. That’s why we offer dental implants in Minneapolis. 
What’s the Process for Getting Dental Implants?
Getting dental implants may seem like a big step, but at CityTooth, we make the process simple and stress-free. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
1. Initial Consultation
The process begins with a consultation at our Minneapolis dental office. Dr. Meysman assesses your oral health, takes digital x-rays, and discusses your goals to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you. We explain each step and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Implant Placement
To guarantee top-quality care, we partner with a trusted specialist who handles implant placement. During this step, the specialist surgically places a titanium post into your jawbone, which will serve as the root of your new tooth. Your jawbone then begins healing, and the implant naturally fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
3. Healing Period
While your implant integrates with your jawbone (usually over a few months), a temporary restoration may be placed to keep your smile looking great. This healing period is crucial for dental implant success.
4. Custom Restoration Design
Once your implant is ready, we design a custom crown, bridge, or denture that matches your natural teeth in shape, size, and color. We aim to create a restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile and looks completely natural.
5. Final Placement
In the final step, we attach your custom restoration to the dental implant. After a quick adjustment and final polish, your new tooth is ready to go. You’ll leave our dental office with a fully restored smile that looks and feels amazing!
6. Follow-Up Care
We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to check your progress and make sure everything is functioning as it should. With proper care and regular dental visits, your implant can last for decades.
