PROCEDURE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS FITTING
The procedure for dental implant fitting has three main stages.
1) Checking and preparing the area for the planned dental implant.
We need to know that the root canals at the surgical area are extracted, that there is enough bone in the jaw to fix the
dental implant and that the gum is not inflammated. If you have root canals they have to be extracted. If the volume of the bone is not sufficient you need bone grafting. If there is an inflammation you need to take antibiotics. The best way to clear all these important questions is by an X-ray or a 3D CT. After checking the images the dentist will have a fully detailed
dental implant fitting plan for you.
2) Dental implant surgery.
Dental implant surgery can be made only when the specific area is healthy and
not inflammated. That's really important for minimising risks and ensuring
fast and proper healing after surgery.
Dental implant surgery means that
the base of the implant will be placed and fixed in the jaw by an implant
surgeon. Implant surgery can be made right after the extraction when there
is no inflammation. If you require bone grafting you have to wait with the
implant surgery about 12-16 weeks until the jaw recover. Usually we suggest
to
dental implant patients to stay in the chosen city for a week after their
dental implant surgery, during this time the dental implant surgeon will
check the condition of the patient regularly and at the end of the week
the stitches will be taken out. Some patient can't stay for a week, their
stitches will be removed by their dentist in their home country.
3) Placing the crowns on the dental implant.
Crowns are the upper, visible parts of the implants. They are placed 12-16 weeks
after the
dental implant surgery. This time is needed for the jaw and gums to
"take in" the placed base of the implant. After the jaw has addequately recovered
the crown can be placed on the
dental implant. This surgical intervention is
simpler and faster than placing the implants base. You have to stay for a long
weekend - four or five days - untill the crowns or brigde will be finalised and
fixed.
