The Stages of the Dental Implant Installation Process
The installation of dental implants typically takes place within three steps.
The first step of the process requires an analysis of the affected area, especially if a tooth remains. Extracting the tooth or teeth is required to continue onward and will allow for the placement of the dental implants.
Phase 2 is when the placement of the implant and its healing abutment takes place. This requires your periodontist to drill into the jawbone of the missing tooth and insert the new root into place. This phase is typically the most bothersome for the patient, as swelling and bleeding can occur from the newly installed root. Typically during this stage, gums around the affected area begin to alleviate swelling and the installed root finds firm purchase within the jaw bone and surrounding tissue. At this moment, the abutment is installed and filed down to allow for the new tooth to be capped.
Lastly, Phase 3 allows the final installation of the new implant, and the completion of your smile. This will be done by your general dentist rather than your periodontist. Though you may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours, this new implant will allow you the full accessibility of having a real tooth, along with the aesthetics of having the perfect smile you dreamed of.
