Dental Implants Procedure
STEP 1 – Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Our Dentist  will examine your medical history, undertake a physical examination and take x-rays. This will determine if you have sufficient jawbone to support a tooth implant or if you need a bone graft. They can also answer any questions or address concerns you may have. An appointment for your dental implant bridge (and bone graft) is made if you both agree this is the best course of action.
STEP 2 – Placing the Dental Implant Bridge
If you need a bone graft, this can be done during the same appointment as your dental implant bridge. In some cases, if there is excessive bone loss, it may need to be done first and allowed to settle before the implant surgery.
- The implant itself is a common surgical procedure. You can choose local anaesthetic or to be put asleep (Sleep Dentistry)
- After the dental implant is in place, there is a wait of 3 – 4 months for Osseointegration (where new bone grows around the dental implant).
STEP 3 – Impression of Dental Implant
An appointment is made to take an impression of the position of the dental implant and the adjacent teeth. A porcelain implant bridge is created in a shade that best matches the rest of your teeth.
STEP 4 – Implant Bridge Inserted
An appointment is made to insert the implant bridge and ensure it looks and functions as it should. Your new dental implant teeth are now in place and are ready to be used.
* Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
How Long Does a Dental Implant Procedure Take?
The dental implant procedure typically takes between 4 to 12 months. This timeframe includes the initial consultation, the placement of the implant, the healing period, and the final placement of the replacement tooth. Additional procedures like bone grafts may extend this timeline.
