Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. A crown (artificial tooth) is then attached to restore function and aesthetics.
Dental Implant Procedure
Initial Consultation
●Oral exam, X-rays, and 3D scans to assess bone structure.
●Evaluation of medical history to determine candidacy.
Tooth Extraction
●If the damaged tooth is still present, it will be removed.
Bone Grafting
●If the jawbone is too weak, a bone graft is done to strengthen it.
●Healing time: 3–6 months before implant placement.
Implant Placement
●The titanium post is inserted into the jawbone.
●Healing period: 3–6 months (Osseointegration – the bone fuses with the implant).
Crown Placement
●A custom-made artificial tooth (crown) is attached to the abutment.
