First Step: Treatment Planning
Before starting implant treatment, your dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your jawbone and overall oral health. Based on this assessment, your eligibility for implant treatment will be determined, and a personalized treatment plan will be created.
Who Is Implant Treatment Suitable For?
Implant treatment is suitable for individuals experiencing tooth loss and having sufficient jawbone density. A healthy jawbone and overall good health are essential for a successful implant procedure. This treatment provides solutions for individuals facing functional or aesthetic issues due to missing teeth.
Benefits of Implant Treatment
Implants provide a permanent and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They mimic the structure of natural tooth roots, restore chewing function, and prevent other teeth from shifting. Additionally, they help maintain proper dental alignment and offer an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Treatment Process and Follow-Ups
Implant treatment is typically completed in multiple stages. In the first stage, the implant is placed into the jawbone, and a healing period begins for osseointegration (fusion with the bone). Once healing is complete, a prosthetic tooth is attached to the implant. Regular post-treatment check-ups are essential to ensure the implants remain healthy and long-lasting.
Possible Discomfort During and After Treatment
With local anesthesia, the implant procedure is pain-free. After treatment, mild pain or discomfort may occur but is usually temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Maintaining oral hygiene during the healing process is critical.
Post-Treatment Condition of Your Teeth
After the completion of implant treatment, the implants function like natural teeth and offer an aesthetically pleasing result. The prosthetic tooth attached to the implant enhances durability and chewing strength. Regular check-ups and proper oral care are necessary to ensure the long-term success of the implants.
