What is a Dental Implant Procedure? 

Dental implants are a surgical solution for replacing missing teeth using artificial roots (implants) placed into the jawbone. Implants serve as an effective and permanent alternative to lost teeth, helping restore natural oral function and enhancing the overall appearance.

Steps of the Dental Implant Procedure

Initial Assessment and Planning The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the mouth and jaw health, including X-rays to determine bone suitability and implant placement.

Implant Placement During surgery, a titanium or similar material implant is inserted into the jawbone to serve as an artificial root for the replacement tooth.

Final Restoration After the healing period, the replacement tooth (crown) is attached to the implant, completing the procedure.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The placement of a dental implant typically takes one to two hours, though the entire process may take longer, depending on individual healing times and additional procedures.

Anesthesia Used

Local anesthesia is commonly used to ensure a pain-free experience during the implant procedure.

Pre- and Post-Procedure Precautions

Before the Procedure:

Ensure any chronic conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, are well-managed to support healing.

Avoid blood-thinning medications or any drugs that may interfere with wound healing.

After the Procedure:

Avoid consuming hard or very hot foods to protect the implant site.

Follow all aftercare instructions provided by the dentist to maintain the implant’s health.

Refrain from smoking for several weeks to accelerate the healing process.
