Diagnosis and planning
After
detailed diagnostic investigations and treatment planning, implants are inserted in the jaw under local
anesthetic as an outpatient procedure, or under general anesthetic if preferred.
Building
up the bone
If the available bone volume and bone quality are insufficient, the
bone can be built up.
Healing
During
the following healing period, the jaw bone knits firmly with the implant to form a secure base for the
new teeth.
Final denture
During the healing
period, an esthetic temporary fills the gap until the final denture is inserted. As soon as healing
is complete, the new teeth are screwed or cemented to the implant post.
In a few cases, it is also possible to insert the final denture immediately after insertion of the implant or implants. Your dentist will decide if this is an option.
Care
Good
oral hygiene and regular check-ups with your dentists are essential for the long-term success of dental
implants.
