What can I expect from dental implant treatment?
Over the years, we have refined the procedure to maximize your comfort and time. Here’s what you can expect.
- Examination and treatment planning: Your Napier dental implant dentist will assess your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss expectations about treatment. Additionally, the dentist uses advanced imaging tools to analyze oral health for a personalized treatment plan.
- Implant placement: The dentist places a biocompatible titanium post at a pre-determined location in the jawbone. Exercising precision here is paramount to place the implant at an optimal position while avoiding damage to the nearby nerves, blood vessels, and other delicate structures.
- Healing: Your implants need a few months to heal and fuse with the jawbone. During this phase, osseointegration occurs, where new bone cells form around the implant to create a sturdy base for your new tooth.
- Abutment placement: After healing, the dentist will attach a metal connector (abutment) to your implant. This prosthetic device extends above the gum line to connect the implant to your final restoration.
- Implant restoration: The dentist will cover your implant with a customized crown to complete your smile restoration journey. Like your natural teeth, your new tooth provides ultimate aesthetics and functionality.

Is there an age limit for dental implants?
Dr. Jagadeesan doesn’t recommend dental implants for children or teenagers because their jawbones are still developing. Placing an implant in a growing jaw can lead to complications, such as the implant becoming misaligned over time. We wait until jaw development is complete—usually around age 18–21, depending on the individual. Dental X-rays and scans help us determine if your jawbone is fully matured to support an implant.
The good news is that you are never too old for dental implants. Many patients in their 60s, 70s, 80s—and even 90s—can receive implants. As long as you have adequate bone density, healthy gums, and good systemic health, it’s never too late to rebuild your smile with dental implants.
