Are you getting ready for a dental implant but tense about the procedure? This guide can help you as we are going to list what happens during the process and things to expect. The number of people with dental implants is increasing daily due to the effectiveness of the treatment. A dental implant replaces your tooth roots with metals and gives a stable base to your replacement teeth. The exact procedure depends on your oral conditions and the type of implant you would need. However, usually, the procedure occurs in the following order:

  • Your dentist would check the conditions of your jawbones and decide the best implant procedure. They might suggest tooth extraction or bone grafting, in case it is necessary. They would also plan your treatment with other specialists like a periodontist in case you have gum issues. They would review your medical history in the initial consultation, as sometimes chronic diseases can lead to dental implant failure

  • After a thorough evaluation and doing all the necessary procedures as needed, your dentist will insert the dental implant to your jawbone. Of course, it is done after making sure your jawbone is strong enough and has the correct structure. After insertion, the implant will be left untouched for the next 3-9 months so that it can fuse with your jawbones

  • Once your dentist is sure that the implant is stable, he would place abutment teeth on top. The abutment should be tight enough to be in place even while you are eating. You will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure as you would be given local anesthesia. You would also be given a healing cap that would prevent the tissues and bones from going above the abutment.

  • Finally, when your gums heal, you would be given artificial teeth or crowns
