Dental implant placement is a crucial first step in the journey towards restoring your smile and oral health. This procedure serves as the foundation for your implant-supported restoration and your future smile, whether you are replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth. Understanding what to expect during this phase can help alleviate any concerns and ensure a successful outcome.
The implant placement procedure begins with the skilled and precise surgical insertion of a small screw, made of titanium or another biocompatible material, into your jawbone. This implant post essentially takes on the role of a natural tooth root, providing stability and stimulating the surrounding jawbone.
Following the implant placement, a crucial healing period follows. During this time, the implant undergoes a process called “osseointegration,” where it fuses with your jawbone. This integration is vital for the implant’s long-term stability and durability. Patients receive detailed post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
In cases where you have experienced bone loss in the jaw, a bone grafting procedure may be necessary to create a suitable foundation for the implant. Additionally, any pre-existing oral health issues, such as tooth decay or gum disease, must be addressed before implant placement to ensure the best possible outcome.
