What is the procedure of dental implant surgery?
Dental implant placcement
During surgery to place the dental implant, oral surgeon makes a cut to expose the bone. Holes are drilled into the bone where the dental implant will be placed. Since the post will serve as the tooth root, it's implanted deep into the bone.
Osseointegration
During this process, the jawbone grows into and unites with the surface of the dental implant. This process, which can take 3-6 months, helps provide a solid base for your new artificial tooth as roots do for your natural teeth.
Abutment placement
To place the abutment:
Local anesthesia is applied
Your oral surgeon reopens your gum to expose the dental implant
The abutment is attached to the dental implant
The gum tissue is then closed around, but not over, the abutment
After the abutment is placed, your gums must heal for about two weeks before the artificial tooth can be attached. This is very important step that allow the soft tissue,gum, to adapt around the abutment. Construction of crown is then made over the abutment and its type may be porcelain or zirconia.
Are dental implants safe?
When performed by qualified oral surgeon, dental implants procedure is considered to be a very safe procedure that lasts for lifetime. Percentage of dental implant success exceeds more than 90% when diagnosis and treatment plan is properly done.
