Dental Implant Placement

Dental Implant Placement

Dental implant placement is an advanced dental procedure used to replace missing teeth with titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. This method is recognized as a permanent and natural-looking solution for tooth replacement, offering numerous benefits to patients.

Steps of Dental Implant Surgery

1. Evaluation and Planning: Before the surgery, the dentist conducts a thorough examination of the patient’s oral health and creates a detailed plan for implant placement.
2. Anesthesia: The area is numbed using local anesthesia.
3. Drilling: The dentist uses specialized tools to create a small hole in the jawbone.
4. Implant Installation: The titanium implant post is inserted into the prepared hole.
5. Healing Period: After implant placement, the jawbone gradually fuses with the implant post (osseointegration). This process typically takes a few months.
6. Abutment Placement: Once the jawbone has fused with the implant, a piece called an abutment is attached to the implant.
7. Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made artificial tooth crown is placed on the abutment, creating a natural appearance and function similar to a natural tooth.
