Dental Implant Procedure
DENTAL IMPLANT PROCESS
Restoring your smile with dental implants is a significant decision. Our goal is to ensure that the entire process is as smooth and comfortable as possible, providing you with a natural-looking and fully functional smile that lasts a lifetime
THE DENTAL IMPLANT PROCESS
The dental implant procedure involves three key steps, with an additional step if a bone graft is required:
Step 1: Evaluation
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation at Gregorin Dental. We will assess your overall health, examine the area where the implant will be placed, and conduct a CT scan to analyze the jawbone, gums, and surrounding teeth. This step ensures that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure and helps us plan the best approach for your specific needs.
Step 2: Dental Implant Surgery
Many patients feel apprehensive about the surgery, but rest assured, this step is straightforward and typically takes less time than a tooth extraction. After administering a local anesthetic, the implant body is placed into the jawbone. In some cases, the implant can be placed immediately after tooth extraction, and in certain circumstances, a flapless “no incision” surgery may be performed, leading to minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.
Step 3: Final Restoration
After the implant surgery, there is a healing period of 4-6 months to allow for osseointegration, where the bone naturally fuses with the implant. During this time, you will wear a temporary dental prosthetic. Once healing is complete, the final crown or bridge is placed, completing your restoration with a durable and natural-looking result.
