Process of Dental Implant
Initial Consultation and Treatment Planning
The dentist conducts a thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess the condition of the jawbone and plan the implant procedure.
Implant Placement
The dental implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone. If necessary, tooth extraction and bone grafting are performed beforehand. Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort.
Surgery and Healing
The implant is left to heal and integrate with the jawbone, a process that typically takes several months. This ensures a strong and stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
Abutment and Crown Placement
Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown is placed on the abutment.
