This comprehensive approach ensures the success and longevity of dental implants. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the procedure:

• Initial Consultation: The process begins with an initial consultation with a dental implant specialist. Your oral health is evaluated during this visit, and your needs and goals are discussed. X-rays, 3D scans, and impressions of your mouth may be taken to create a detailed treatment plan.
• Treatment Planning: A customized treatment plan is developed based on the information gathered during the consultation. This plan outlines the number of implants needed, their optimal placement, and the type of prosthetic teeth to be used.
• Surgical Implant Placement: On the day of the procedure, you’ll receive local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during surgery. The dental implant specialist will surgically place titanium implant fixtures into your jawbone. The number of implants depends on your specific case and the type of restoration needed.
• Healing and Osseointegration: The implanted fixtures undergo osseointegration over the next few months. During this time, they fuse with the jawbone, becoming a solid and stable part of your oral anatomy. During this crucial phase, you’ll receive care instructions to promote healing and protect the implants.
• Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, a minor surgical procedure may be performed to attach abutments to the implant fixtures. Abutments are connector pieces that will support the prosthetic teeth.
• Prosthetic Tooth Design and Placement: Impressions of your mouth are taken to create custom prosthetic teeth that match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. These prosthetic teeth are securely attached to the abutments, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution.
• Follow-Up Care: After the dental implant procedure, you will continue to have follow-up appointments with us to monitor the implants and prosthetic teeth. Regular dental check-ups and maintenance are essential to ensure the health and longevity of your implants.
