Dental Implant Surgery

implant can be described as a small stick, usually made ​​of titanium, which is located on the jaw bone to hold and support false teeth. This implant is combined with the jaw bone over several months leaving a small contribution to the design through the gums. This contribution helps to bridges or dentures can suck on it.

the entire implant process is a collaborative effort between a surgical dentist and restorative dentist. surgical dentist is responsible for the implant and restorative dentist handles the final replacement teeth.

This process is carried out in three steps:

Step I - the first operation:

Surgical dentist will give you medication that will help you feel relaxed or sleepy. Then anesthesia was administered to desensitize the place where the implant is placed. Complete end-to-end process will take about two to three hours.

In performing the first surgery, the surgical dentist carefully prepared to receive the jaw implant:

incision or opening is created which reveals the bone over the implant site

Then, using special drills, water passes through the center that helps prepare the bone site

Now metal implant is twisted and adjusted to the right place

Finally, using a few stitches the gums are closed, and the incision was covered a few months to allow healing.

After the first surgery was completed, the dental assistant suggested oral hygiene instructions, prescriptions for painkillers and antibiotics as well as details of the monitoring process, carefully check the healing process.

During the months of treatment, associated with metal implants jaw structurally and functionally. This process is called "Osseointegration".

Unnecessary pressure on the jaw bone should be avoided so that food and soft full lips, including the other teeth and gums should be kept clean.

Step II - Second Surgery:

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

second operation will be completed in about half an hour after the assistant suggests oral hygiene instructions and further suggests that supplements should be cleaned gently with a soft toothbrush.

Step III - Connecting the prosthesis

In this step, restorative dentist designs the new teeth, checking if a good fit, and attaching a metal abutment. The dental prosthesis, or may be fixed or mobile. Fixed prosthesis can be removed by a dentist, but transmission can be removed by the individuals themselves.
