Steps of dental implants:
The dental implant process takes several months since it goes through several stages where the wounds need to heal and wait for bone growth.
The first stage is the placement of the metal implant:
The patient goes under local anesthesia; the doctor makes an incision in the gums, and then makes a hole in the jawbone where he will implant the metal implant that will serve as the root of the tooth. After implanting the implant in the jawbone, the doctor closes the incision. This procedure takes 10 to 30 minutes, without feeling any pain.
A temporary dental crown may be used for functional needs so the place is not left empty.
The second stage is jawbone fusion:
This stage takes several months, during which the bone around the implant grows, creating a solid base for the teeth where the bone combines with titanium.
The third stage is the placement of the dental support: After the fusion of the implant with the jawbone is complete, the doctor reopens the gums and installs the stent in the metal implant. He re-closes the gums, and the patient waits two weeks for the gum tissue around the stent to heal.
The fourth stage is the selection of artificial teeth: After the gums are healed, prints are taken for the mouth and teeth. These prints will be used to make the crown, which is an artificial tooth that resembles a real tooth in its shape completely and is fixed above the stent.
Tips for maintaining long-term dental implants:
- Maintain good hygiene of teeth and gums and keep brushing them daily.
- Take care of the cleanliness of the area around the artificial crown and use cleaning threads for dental implants.
- Visit the dentist periodically and conduct the necessary examinations.
- Avoid certain habits that are harmful to the teeth, such as smoking, drinking caffeine, and chewing solids.
- Follow all the instructions recommended by the doctor after the end of the transplant.
