🦷 Journey to a Healthy Dental Implant
1. Consultation & Examination
• Dentist evaluates your overall oral health.
• X-rays or 3D scans are taken to check bone structure and gum condition.
• Treatment plan is customized.
2. Preparation Stage
• Any existing dental issues (gum disease, decay, or extractions) are treated first.
• In some cases, a bone graft may be required if the jawbone isn’t strong enough.
3. Implant Placement Surgery
• Titanium screw (the implant) is placed into the jawbone.
• Healing begins as the bone fuses with the implant (osseointegration).
• This phase usually takes 3–6 months.
4. Healing & Temporary Tooth
• A temporary crown or denture may be placed for aesthetics and function during healing.
• Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups are essential.
5. Abutment Placement
• After healing, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant.
• This serves as the base for your final crown.
6. Permanent Crown Placement
• A custom-made crown is designed to match your natural teeth in color and shape.
• It is fixed onto the abutment.
7. Aftercare & Maintenance
• Daily brushing & flossing around the implant.
• Avoid smoking and excessive sugar.
• Regular dental check-ups every 6 months.
• With proper care, implants can last 15–25 years or even a lifetime.
