01.

The Initial Placement of Dental Implants

Initial Consultation and Planning

Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, take X-rays or 3D scans, and discuss your medical history and goals. A customized treatment plan is created to ensure proper placement and timing.

Tooth Extraction (If Needed)

The implant will first be extracted if it replaces a damaged or decayed tooth. In some cases, the implant can be placed immediately afterward.

Bone Grafting (If Necessary)

A bone graft may be required if your jawbone isn’t thick or dense enough to support an implant. This typically adds a few months to the healing timeline.

Implant Placement

The dentist surgically inserts a titanium post into your jawbone. This acts as the artificial root. Local anesthesia is used for comfort during the procedure.

The Healing Process and Placing a Restoration

Osseointegration

Over the next three to six months, the implant integrates with the jawbone in osseointegration, forming a solid foundation for the restoration.

Abutment Placement

Once healing is complete, an abutment (a connector piece) is attached to the implant. This may require a minor procedure.

Crown, Bridge, or Denture Placement

After the gums heal, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is fabricated and securely placed on the abutment, completing the restoration with a natural look and function.

Follow-Up and Maintenance

Maintaining routine dental visits and good oral hygiene are essential for the long-term health of your dental implant.

FAQ

  • Are dental implants better than dentures?

    Implants are fixed and feel more natural. Unlike dentures, they don’t slip, click, or need removal at night.

  • How long do dental implants last?

    Dental implants can last 20 years or longer with proper, ongoing care. Many patients have them for life.

  • Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

    You’re likely a great candidate if you’re in good general health and have enough bone to support an implant.
