When is dental implant placement recommended?
Dental implant placement is recommended if you have one or more missing teeth. Dental implant placement is one of the most flexible and viable tooth replacement procedures in dentistry. The biggest advantage of dental implants is that they are fixed firmly in the mouth, i.e. in the jawbone, so they do not move and cannot be removed like dentures. This makes eating and speaking as easy as with natural teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, but they can also be used to replace an entire arch, which is the All-on-4 method.
Dental implant placement: how does it work?
Dental implantation can be daunting at first because it involves several steps and is lengthy, but in the long run it is the most cost-effective solution. First and foremost, we will perform a thorough dental diagnosis and screening before implanting a dental implant. We will assess whether you have any other dental problems apart from the missing tooth. If there is, we will treat the problem first to ensure that the dental implant procedure is as risk-free as possible, avoiding inflammation and infection. The diagnostics will also help us to decide whether bone grafting is necessary before the dental implant is placed. If so, treatment will start with the bone grafting and only then will we start the dental implant procedure.
The procedure for dental implant placement
Dental implant placement is a complex procedure, as the implant itself is placed in the jawbone. Once this is done, there is a healing period of 3-6 months after the dental implant is placed, during which the body and tissues have to accept the implant. Once this is done, the implant is released from under the gum and a gum shaping screw is placed into the implant to shape the gum aesthetically and allow for easy insertion of a dental crown later. Whole tooth implant placement can be lengthy due to the healing time, but each patient's placement, treatment and healing process is personalised.
