What’s involved with Dental Implant Procedures?

  • Consultation
    The first step is an examination and consultation with us to determine whether or not you are a candidate for implant treatment. This usually involves x-rays and may include taking scans of your teeth. If you have already lost a significant amount of bone, a low dose Cone Beam CT scan may need to be carried out. During the examination, we will be evaluating the areas of your mouth where teeth are missing and assessing the amount of bone available to support the placement of implants. A review of your health will indicate whether any medical conditions could prevent you from being a candidate for implant treatment.

  • Implant Placement Procedure
    The implants are placed in the bone using a gentle surgical technique. Following the implant placement procedure, the implants are left undisturbed for 3 to 9 months so that the bone can grow around the implants to form a strong biological bond. During this bone maturation phase, you can have temporary replacement teeth so that you never have to be without teeth during treatment. Implants can also be placed on the same day as your teeth are extracted if you are a suitable candidate.

  • Abutment Attachment Procedure
    Following the appropriate healing period, a small post called an abutment is attached to each implant. The definitive replacement teeth will eventually be attached to these abutments.

  • Fabrication of Replacement Teeth
    Once the gum and bone have healed, a series of appointments are typically required. From a scan, we work very closely with an excellent state-of-the-art dental laboratory to make temporary teeth and definitive teeth that will fit on top of the implants. For cosmetic cases, we will send you to the laboratory to get the best results.
