Diagnosis and treatment planning

    Your dentist will first examine your dental situation carefully to decide if you meet the requirement for dental implant treatment. It is vital that your gums and jaw bone are free from inflammation. If necessary, these conditions are treated prior to surgery.

    During diagnosis, the dentist also evaluates what type of jaw bone you have and how much of it is left. After years of living with missing teeth, your jaw bone can sometimes be severely receded. In this case, your dentist will discuss alternative procedures with you to make dental implant treatment possible.

    Your dentist may opt to use digital tools to plan your treatment by generating an exact 3D image of your mouth. This will help the dental team immensely during surgery, because it helps them find the best angle and depth for your implant.

    Placing the implant

    Implant placement usually is an outpatient procedure and.Thanks to local anesthesia, you will hardly feel anything. Depending on the individual situation in your mouth, implants are placed in a one or multiple-step procedure.

    Final restoration

    After surgery, your dentist usually places a temporary crown, bridge or just a small plastic cap on top of your implant, while the implant integrates with the jaw bone. The integration of implant and bone is called osseointegration . Depending on your individual situation, it can take from a few weeks to a few months. In the meantime, your dentist will work with a dental laboratory to design and manufacture your final restoration. Your customized crown, bridge or bar is then attached to the implant with a tiny screw or cement.
