The Dental Implants Process When patients come to Dr. Bourgeois and are missing one or more teeth, he may suggest dental implants as the most permanent and comfortable way to complete their smiles. If a patient decides to pursue implants, he or she is sent to consult with a trusted oral surgeon conveniently located near Dr. Bourgeois Salem, New Hampshire practice. The oral surgeon will examine the patient for dental implants candidacy, and then will prepare the patients mouth by gently cutting back the gums. Next, the oral surgeon inserts the artificial tooth roots made of titanium into the patients jawbone. After a few months, the gums heal around the implants as they become fused to the patients jawbone. Once this process, known as osseointegration, is complete, the patient is ready to visit Dr. Frederick M. Bourgeois Salem, New Hampshire practice to have his or her dental implant restorations placed. For more information please contact Southern NH dentistry at 603-685-3398
