The dental implants process
The dental implant process is a multi-step procedure that involves several stages to replace missing teeth with artificial tooth roots and crowns.Your dentist or specialist (periodontist or oral surgeon) will examine your teeth, gums, and jawbone using X-rays, CT scans, or other imaging techniques.A personalized treatment plan is developed based on your oral health, the number of teeth to be replaced, and the condition of your jawbone.The first surgery involves placing the dental implant (a titanium post) into the jawbone surgically. This acts as a replacement for the tooth root. An abutment (connector) is then attached to the implant. This small metal piece connects the implant to the replacement tooth or crown.Once the implant site has healed and the abutment is in place, the custom-made crown is securely attached to the abutment.
