Understanding how dental implants restore your smile, confidence, and oral health

Our dental implant treatment involves the following detailed protocol:

• Firstconsultation: The journey towards placing dental implants starts with a consultation with a reputable oral surgeon. This discussion focuses on creating your ideal smile, evaluating X-rays, and checking your jawbone to ensure a durable foundation. If you are suited for dental implants, this session is used to design your customized treatment strategy, including implant placement and quantity.
• Pre-surgery measures: Should a decayed or damaged tooth require replacement, a careful dental extraction is necessitated. We will gently and painlessly extract the tooth in preparation for the new implant. If your jaw bone is not dense enough to support a dental implant, we offer solutions such as bone grafting to restore lost bone tissue and create the perfect environment for your dental implant placement.
• Implant placement: The implant placement is an outpatient procedure performed on our premises. Before proceeding, we numb your gums with local anesthesia and offer sedation to ensure your comfort during the process.
• Healing phase: After surgery, we allow a healing phase of about four months, during which the implant integrates with your bone structure through osseointegration. During this period, you must maintain proper oral hygiene and attend regular dental checkups for successful treatment outcomes.
• Tooth restoration: The most exciting phase is finally here! After months of waiting, it is time to complete your smile with a realistic-looking restoration. Leveraging our state-of-the-art CEREC technology, we can create your personalized implant restoration as a dental crown, bridge, or denture within a single appointment. The entire dental crown process is done in-house, ensuring you walk out with nothing less than a masterpiece!

Dental implant crowns are created to last a lifetime, provided the tissues surrounding them are healthy. These restorations can help prevent further bone loss, allow patients to restore near-perfect oral functionality, and require regular maintenance just like natural teeth.
