Implant Dentistry
Surgical Procedure: The first step is the surgical placement of the dental implant. This involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone where the tooth root used to be. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, though sedation options are available for more complex cases.
Healing Period: After the implant is placed, the bone will need time to integrate with the titanium post in a process known as osseointegration. This usually takes a few months, ensuring that the implant is securely anchored to the bone.
Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, the next stage involves placing an abutment—a small connector piece that will hold the artificial tooth (crown) in place. This is done through a minor procedure, typically under local anesthesia.
Healing Time: After the abutment is placed, the gums need to heal around it before the final crown can be attached. This might take a few weeks.
After the gums have healed around the abutment, the final step is to attach the artificial tooth or crown. The crown is custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. It is securely placed on the abutment, completing the restoration.
