Dental Implant Surgery
Dental sinus lifting is a procedure that is utilized to create sufficient jawbone volume for the placement of dental implants. Bone grafting is a procedure performed to increase the amount of bone available for implant placement where there is insufficient bone mass. Dental implant surgery involves placing titanium posts into your natural jawbone and fusing an artificial tooth or teeth to these posts.
Dental Implant Procedure
Consultation: The first step in the dental implant procedure is a consultation with a dental implant specialist. During this consultation, the dentist will evaluate the patient’s oral health, take x-rays and other imaging tests, and discuss the patient’s goals and expectations for the procedure.
Preparing the site: Once the patient is approved for the dental implant procedure, the dentist will prepare the site where the implant will be placed. This may involve removing any remaining tooth or cleaning the site of any infection.
Placing the implant: The next step is to place the dental implant into the jawbone. The implant is made of titanium or other biocompatible material and is designed to fuse with the jawbone over time, forming a stable base for the replacement tooth.
Healing process: After the implant is placed, there is a healing process that can take several months. During this time, the implant will fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. The patient will wear a temporary crown or bridge during this time.
Abutment placement: Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, the dentist will place an abutment on top of the implant. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth.
Crown placement: The final step in the dental implant procedure is to place the replacement tooth, also called a crown, on top of the abutment. The crown is custom-made to match the patient’s existing teeth and fit seamlessly into the mouth.
Gum Graft Procedure
A gum graft procedure involves the transplantation of gums and the surrounding living tissue from one area of the mouth to another. With this treatment, your dentist can eliminate the open wound that is typical after tooth extraction. Gum grafts are also used to help create a more natural-looking smile if you lose teeth as a result of periodontal disease.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a procedure performed to help provide a suitable structure for the dental implant post. The bone grafts are created from materials harvested from your own body or those of a donor. The procedure can be used to increase the volume and strength of your jawbone when you have gingival recession or other problems, or simply to restore lost gum tissue after tooth loss and missing teeth.
