Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant procedure involves several stages, including pre and post-operative, and takes 7-9 months in total.
The process takes a long time because you have to wait for the bone to heal to attach the abutment after the implant is placed in the jawbone, and then the artificial tooth is placed as the gum heals.
Consultation & Preoperation
Your dentist will first assess your oral health and decide whether you are suitable for a dental implant. The health of the gums and jawbone is the most important factor in the counseling process. At the end of the consultation process, it is decided how many dental implants you need and where they will be placed.
Placing the Dental Implant
The part of the jawbone where the implant will be placed is prepared for surgery. Local anesthesia and sedation allow the patient to undergo the operation in the most painless way. The threaded implant, which is usually made of titanium, is placed in the jawbone. This operation takes about 2 hours.
Osseointegration
After the implant is placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia, the osseointegration process begins. In this process, the jawbone starts to grow and the dental implant fuses with the bone.
It is important that the implant fuses well with the bone for the artificial tooth to remain firm after this process is over. The healing process can take between 3 and 6 months.
The Abutment
After making sure that the tissues around the implant are completely healed, the gum on the implant is cut to attach the abutment.
The abutment, which will help to connect the crown with the implant, is placed on the dental implant. During this process, the temporary tooth is placed on the implant. It takes 2-4 weeks for the gum to heal completely.
Placing the Crown
After the healing process is over, your dentist will take an impression of your tooth. The carefully made artificial tooth is placed on the abutment. You can choose from two different types of artificial teeth: removable and fixed.
After the Procedure
After the placement of the artificial tooth, your dentist will follow you at regular periods and check your progress. During this process, you need to take healthy care of your teeth and brush them constantly
