A Dental Implant can be described as a tiny rod, normally made of titanium which is placed on the jaw bone in order to hold and support a false tooth. This implant combines with the jaw bone over a number of months leaving a modest attachment projecting out through the gum. This attachment helps bridges or dentures to be clipped on to it.

The complete dental implant method is a collaborative effort between a surgical dentist and a restorative dentist. The surgical dentist is responsible for placing the implant and the restorative dentist handles the final replacement of the teeth.

This procedure is undertaken in 3 actions:

Step I – 1st Surgery:

Preparing for the surgery:

Considering the complications involved in the surgery and the anesthesia that needs to be administered, most dental surgeries take location at the Dental Office. All instructions that are given prior to the surgery want to be followed with utmost care.

Throughout Surgery:

The Surgical dentist will supply medication which will help you feel relaxed or sleepy. Then anesthesia is administered to desensitize the place where the implant is to be placed. The complete end to end procedure will take about two to 3 hours.

While performing the very first surgery, the surgical dentist carefully prepares the jawbone to obtain the implant:

An incision or an opening is produced which exposes the bone over the website of the implant

Then using a unique drill, water is passed via the centre which helps in preparing the bone site

Now the metal implant is twisted and adjusted into the right place

Finally making use of several stitches the gums are closed and the incision is covered for months in order to allow healing.

Once the very first surgery is completed, the dental assistant suggests oral hygiene directions, prescriptions for pain killers and antibiotics and also details of follow up procedure to maintain a close check on the healing method.

In the course of the months of healing, the metal implant connects with the jawbone structurally and functionally. This process is referred to as “Osseointegration”.

Unnecessary pressure on the jaw bone need to be avoided by having soft foods and the complete mouth which includes the other teeth and gums should be kept clean.

Step II – Second Surgery:

Once the Osseointegration process is complete and the surgical dentist is convinced that the implants are firmly held, an extension or abutment (small titanium connector) is attached.

The second surgery will be completed in about half an hour after which the assistant suggests oral hygiene instructions and additionally suggests that the attachments really should be cleaned gently making use of a soft toothbrush.

Step III – Attaching the prosthesis

In this step the restorative dentist designs the new tooth, checks if it fits well and attaches it to the metal abutment. This dental prosthesis could either be fixed or removable. Fixed prosthesis can only be removed by the dentists however removable 1 can be removed by the people themselves.
