Conventionally, dental implant treatments
are done in two phases. During the first phase, surgical
placement of the titanium implant posts. The implant
posts is then left to heal for 2 months or more called
the osseointegration period whereby the dental implants
posts are given healing time to integrate with the jaw
bone. During the second phase, the fixed prosthetics
such as crown, fixed bridges or overdentures are constructed
and fitted onto the dental implant posts. Conventional
teeth implants allow better predictability and dental implant
stability permitting good successful case results. Computer
based simulation and CT Scans now enables better diagnoses
for dental implant treatments.
For certain cases where there is good bone quality
and structure, immediate
function dental implants treatments may also be
done reducing treatment time. Please do consult with
your implantologist on which types of dental implants
protocols are best suited for your case. |

Basic Dental Implant Procedure
 The
implant procedure is very smiliar same whether one or all
teeth are missing. Below outlines what you may expect during
dental implant treatment:
- Implant Site Preparation
- Placing the Implant
- Healing Process
- Attaching the Post
- Placing the Crown or Denture
- Maintaining Your Dental Implant
Implant Site Preparation
The gum tissue is opened to expose the bone area where the
implant will be placed. In situations where there is insufficient
bone structure, bone grafting may be a recommended procedure.
Once healthy bone material has been established, a special
drill is used to prepare the bone to receive the implant.
Placing the Implant
After the bone has been prepared, the implant is placed and
the tissue is sutured.
The Healing Process - Osseointegration
The healing process takes about two months. This is the amount
of time it usually takes the implant to become part of the
lower jaw, commonly refered to as osseointegration. The sutures
are typically removed however, seven to fourteen days after
surgery.
Attaching the Post
When the gum tissue is ready, a special post is attached
to the implant. It is the support for the new porcelain crown.
Today's technologies often include zirconium abutments attached
to the implant post, to assure that the new porcelain tooth
possesses translucency properties similar to a natural tooth.
Placing the Crown/ Denture
After impressions are taken a crown is made and shaded to
match your existing teeth. The crown is then slipped over
the post and cemented. The completed implant with its final
prosthetic crown appears as a natural tooth.
Maintaining Your Dental Implant
Once fully installed, regular dental visits and scrupulous
oral hygiene are necessary for keeping the implants clean
and the mouth healthy. The dentist will provide instructions
regarding oral hygiene and proper dieting.
