Dental implant surgery is a procedure designed to replace damaged tooth roots or missing teeth with natural-looking teeth that is, however, artificial. During this procedure, metal is used instead of a tooth root, and a crown is placed on the metal root to replace the tooth entirely. The result of this procedure is often a eye-pleasing appearance of the teeth that also comes with the restoration of the tooth’s functionality. 

The duration of the dental implant treatment or procedure depends on the type of implants used and the condition of the patient’s jawbone. Since the titanium in the implants gets attached to the jaw bone, you don’t have to worry about it slipping, making noise or causing bone damage or any further tooth damage. You can think of dental implants as alternatives to fixed bridgework or dental prostheses.

• People who have missing teeth/tooth or damaged tooth.
•  People with healthy oral tissues.
• People with adequate jaw bone to attach the implants 
• People who are eligible for bone grafting, in case it is necessity.  
• People who don’t have any underliying health conditions which can impair bone healing.

• Get a comprehensive dental examination. An exam helps a dentist determine if a patient is a good candidate for dental implants. … 
• Start a course of antibiotics if necessary. … 
• Prepare the body for the procedure itself. … 
• Get the jaw prepared if necessary. … 
• Schedule downtime and prepare for after-care.

Every patient is different, this is why the dentist customizes the treatment according to a patient’s desires and expectations. Although the treatment is customized, our dentists still adhere to dental clinic’s best practices. 

A dental implant procedure requires more than one session. You will have to visit the dental clinic at least twice. 

Expect to undergo these stages during your treatment:

1. Making the treatment plan

To develop a proper treatment plan, your dentist needs to do an X-ray scan of your mouth. Once the dentist sees your x-ray documents, he/she will evaluate your overall oral and dental health. That will also help the dentist to know the type of dental implant that will suit you well. Once you arrive at the clinic, you should prepare for an additional medical examination as well as a CT scan.

2. Bone grafting process (if essential)

Suppose the natural bone in your mouth is not enough, the dentist will need to do bone grafting. You can think of bone grafting as a dental procedure that involves replacing the the bone loss in the jaw that anchors teeth using one or more different bone grafting options. Depending on how complexity of the process or the bone mass needed, it takes a few minutes to perform bone grafting. And it can be performed at the same time as the implant procedure or in a separate session.

3. Implantation process

The duration of the dental implant process depends on the number of implants you need. The more the implants, the longer the procedure. Either way, the dentist will numb the mouth using meds. Then he/she will remove the damaged tooth. 

After the extraction process, your jaw bone is prepared for the implant. And the implant will be attached carefully. The dentist will then close the gums over the implant to attach securely to the bone. 

After this stage, you will have to wait for a couple of weeks for the jawbone to heal. As soon as it heals, you will be ready for the following stages. 

The dentist will then make a small incision in your gum until he/she can see the implant. He/she will then the dentist will take impressions of the mouth to make it fit for a crown. From these impressions, the dentist makes precise working patterns of the carefully mounted mouth for proper alignment. The dentist will use these models to produce your dental crowns. Lastly, a new crown is going to be carefully placed in your mouth.

4. After Care

There will be minor bruises and swelling in your gums right after the surgery. It would help if you avoid easting solid food or smoking until the gums heal. The critical point for the long-term success of an implant is oral hygiene.

Dental implant recovery is generally a painless process, but you may experience some discomfort here and there. On a scale of one to ten, patients usually say the discomfort is at level 2. Expect swelling and bruising can for 3 to 5 days, post-surgery.
