Putting It All Together
What To Expect During A Dental Implant Procedure
You begin with a consultation discussing your ideal outcome to help us gain a full understanding for desiring such treatment. The process of getting dental implants in Millburn & Clark at Garden State Dental Design involves several key steps:
- Initial Consultation: A thorough examination and discussion about your dental history and implant options.
- Treatment Planning: Personalized planning using advanced imaging technology to ensure precise implant placement.
- Implant Placement: The implant, a small titanium post, is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
- Healing Period: A period of healing (osseointegration) follows, where the implant fuses with the jawbone
- Abutment Placement: After healing, an abutment is attached to the implant to hold the new tooth.
- Artificial Tooth Attachment: Finally, a crown designed to match your natural teeth is attached to the abutment.
Each step is performed with the utmost care, ensuring comfort and optimal results throughout the procedure.
After Your Consultation
After which, a comprehensive exam is performed to gather all the necessary information to develop a customized treatment plan. During this exam, photos of your smile, digital impressions of your teeth and mouth, along with a 3D Ct-scan x-ray is taken to evaluate the health of your bone to better formulate a comprehensive treatment plan. A follow-up appointment is set up to go over treatment options for your desired transformation.
Bone-Grafting
In the event where inadequate bone volume exists where teeth have been missing for quite some time, you might have to undergo a procedure of bone regeneration known as “bone-grafting” to rebuild the bone in anticipation of implant placement. At Garden State Dental Design, we use a homeopathic approach utilizing your own blood, in the form of PRGF Endoret® (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors). This is performed at the time of hopeless tooth removal or at the time of implant surgery to help with the regeneration of bone and soft tissue ensuring successful healing.
Once the bone has had time to heal, then in a single visit at the site of the missing tooth, Your biocompatible titanium screw is inserted into the jaw bone (about an hour with local numbing or sedation, if necessary), and that implant is left to heal and integrate for six-to-eight weeks.
