Dental Implants Procedure

The dental implant procedure is a sophisticated dental technique used to replace missing teeth effectively. A dental implant involves precisely placing a fine titanium rod or screw into the jawbone during a surgical procedure to permanently replace a missing tooth root.

Different types of implants are available. Most implants use materials like titanium, which naturally integrate strongly with the surrounding bone tissue. You can speak to your dentist about the best choice for you.

In most cases, the dental implant procedure involves three separate treatment stages:

• Insertion of the implant to the bone
• Insertion of the abutment (or connector) on the implant
• Attachment of the artificial tooth (crown) to the abutment or connector

The process can take considerable time, from three to six months or more from surgical placement of the implant to the fitting of the crown. This depends on factors such as your general and dental health, the amount of bone, rate of healing, degree of integration between the implant and the bone, and the extent of any other dental problems. Be sure to discuss your unique circumstance with your dentist to determine the best course of action.

In some cases, our dentist may insert the implant and affix both the abutment and an artificial tooth during a single operation. However, not every patient is suitable for, and not all dentists offer, this single-stage procedure.

The insertion can be performed at our clinic, at a day-surgery centre, or in hospital. Our dentist will advise which is the most appropriate for you. Depending on the complexity, the procedure can take from 30 minutes to several hours.
