Dental Implant
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They serve as a stable foundation for attaching replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants are known for their durability and natural appearance, making them a popular choice for patients seeking a permanent solution to tooth loss.
Procedures of Dental Implant:
-
Initial Consultation:
- We start with a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including X-rays and 3D imaging to assess the condition of your jawbone and identify the optimal placement for the implants.
- During this consultation, we discuss your goals and expectations, and design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
-
Implant Placement:
- The procedure begins with the placement of the implant posts into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on your preference and the complexity of the case.
- The implant posts are embedded into the bone and left to integrate with the surrounding tissue through a process called osseointegration, which typically takes several months.
-
Healing Period:
- After the implants are placed, a healing period is required to ensure that the implants properly fuse with the bone. During this time, a temporary crown or denture may be provided to restore function and appearance.
-
Abutment Placement:
- Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, an abutment (a connector piece) is attached to each implant. The abutment serves as the support for the final restoration.
-
Placement of the Final Restoration:
- Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures that will be securely attached to the abutments.
- The final restorations are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
