The Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant procedure is a carefully orchestrated process that begins long before the actual surgery. The foundation of a successful outcome is meticulous planning. During your initial consultation, we gather all necessary clinical data, including digital impressions and CBCT 3D imaging. This allows us to virtually plan the exact placement, angle, and depth of the implant, taking into account your unique anatomy, bone density, and the desired aesthetic outcome.

If a tooth needs to be extracted before implant placement, this will be factored into your customized timeline. Depending on the clinical situation, bone grafting may be performed at the time of extraction to preserve the ridge, or it may be done as a separate procedure. Our team will walk you through every step of your personalized plan, ensuring you understand the sequence, costs, and expected healing times.

The surgical phase involves the precise placement of the titanium implant post into the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and we offer various comfort measures to ensure a calm and anxiety-free experience. Following the surgical guide created during the planning phase, the specialist carefully prepares the site and inserts the implant.

Once the implant is placed, the critical healing phase begins. This process, known as osseointegration, typically takes several months. During this time, the surrounding bone grows and fuses with the microscopic surface of the titanium post, creating an incredibly strong and stable anchor. While you wait for integration, a temporary restoration may be provided for aesthetic purposes, depending on the location of the missing tooth and clinical feasibility.
