Placement of dental implants is a 3- to 6-month process. At this time, the correct fixation of the implant on the jawbone is ensured.
The steps are as follows:
Patient preparation
The first step is to conduct a patient needs analysis and pre-treatment preparation. If necessary, extraction of the damaged tooth is performed before implant placement.
implantation mode
In the next session, you can start placing the implant. After cleaning and disinfecting the area, as well as applying local anesthesia, the dentist begins to intervene.
In some patients, a bone graft has to be performed, which will be worked on later. After opening the gums and leaving the bone exposed, a hole is made and the implant is placed.
In most cases it is necessary to seal the gums and allow them to heal which facilitates bony integration of the implant. This process can last between 1 week and 3 months depending on the patient’s level of recovery.
Following the recommendations of the dentist, it is very important for the patient to take care of the gum tissue for better healing. PerioKIN Hyaluronic 1% is an oral gel that strengthens and tones sensitive gums after the procedure, while reducing the formation of dental biofilms.
Making the crown
By conducting a study of the patient’s mouth, the next step in the consultation is the personal preparation of the crown in terms of size, shape and color.
Implant abutment placement
The last step consists of minor surgery with local anesthesia, during which the previously placed implant is exposed and the abutment is placed.
Just above the abutment, the dental crown, which is the last piece and the one that will be visible in the denture, will be fixed.
