If you have experienced toothache or tooth loss,
you will bear witness that it is one of the most
painful experiences.
3
People who have experienced this pain always
search for an immediate solution to put them out
of misery.
4
The most profound solution for tooth loss and
ache is dental implant treatment.
5
As much as everyone would love dental implants to
be done in a day, it is not the case.
6
Dental implant procedure lasts for an average of
three to six months, depending on the implants
type, number, and position.
7
The procedure usually involves six(6) major steps
discussed below.
8
Step 1 Consult your dentist
9
Before insisting on a dental implant procedure,
you must consult your dentist.
10
The consultation is important because your
dentist would investigate other oral conditions
that need to be addressed.
11
Also, the dentist will test for your bone density
and quality to fully ascertain if you are fit for
the procedure.
12
Step 2 Appointment with your prosthetist
13
Scheduling an appointment with a prosthetist is
an optional step.
14
You will require an appointment only if the
implant will take a whole arch of your missing
teeth.
15
Step 3 Dental implant placement
16
To numb most of the pain during your surgery,
your dentist will sedate you with anesthesia.
17
Sedation is necessary because some dental implant
placement might require bone grafting.
18
Your surgeon will only do bone grafting if your
jawbone is too tender or not thick enough.
19
Step 4 Dental bone fusing
20
Next, the jawbones fuse firmly to the titanium
screw of the implant imitate the function of
the natural tooth root.
21
Medical practitioners refer to this process as
osseointegration the process is lengthy as it
takes 4-6 months.
22
It is advised that you eat tender food that
wouldnt be too hard on your gums.
23
Step 5 Installation of Abutment
24
The abutment is like an implant accessory that
connects the titanium root to your dental crown.
25
For the abutment to heal properly, you have to
wait for three weeks or even more before you can
use your permanent tooth.
26
Step 6 Attachment of crown
27
The last step is attaching a permanent crown to
restore the beauty and functionalities of missing
tooth.
28
However, if your gums are not properly healed,
your dentist will delay the attachment of the
crown.
29
For this reason, you must adhere strictly to all
the laid down rules of the dentist by eating only
soft food.
