  • Dental Implants restore the patient's bite force and resolve speech impairment caused by loss of the tooth. 
  • By practicing good dental care, the patient can retain the implants for a longer time. 
  • Implants promote the confidence of the patient regarding their smile. 

Dental Implants Procedure

An implant procedure involves various steps.
Dental Examination: The dentist initiates the dental procedure through a complete dental checkup. Digital imaging systems are used to obtain X-rays of the teeth. It provides a clear picture of the mouth and helps the dentist analyze if the patient is a candidate for implant surgery.
Tooth Extraction: Some patients may require the extraction of the damaged or infected tooth. The dentist numbs the extraction site with anesthesia and removes the tooth through a simple or surgical extraction procedure. The patient should undergo a healing period before the next step of the implant procedure. 
Implant Placement: In the next appointment, the dentist makes a small incision on the gums. The titanium implant is placed in the jawbone. A healing period of a few weeks is necessary for the implant to fuse with the patient's natural bone structure. 
Abutment Placement: After the healing period, the dentist places an abutment over the implant, which helps to hold the artificial tooth in place. Four to six weeks of time is required for the complete healing of the gums. A temporary crown is placed on the abutment until the subsequent appointment. 
Crown Placement: The final step of the procedure is to place a dental crown on the abutment, which provides a functional tooth to the patient.
