How Does It Work?

A dental implant consists of a titanium screw that serves as a foundation for replacing one or multiple teeth. The three essential components of a dental implant include:

The body, also referred to as the implant post, is carefully positioned in the jaw to provide a secure anchor.
The abutment acts as a link between the implant post and crown.
The term "crown" is utilized to describe the part of a tooth that is visible in the mouth. Additionally, it can also refer to an implant bridge that spans across multiple implants.

Timeline for Dental Implants

RECORDS

Your dentist will take a series of records, including dental x-rays, 3D scans, and photographs. These records will be used to create a treatment plan and to fabricate your dental implants.

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.

STEP 6

HEALING

The implants will need to heal for 4-6 months before the next step can be taken. Dr. Bally will also provide a night guard to help prevent excess pressure from going to your implants. As you heal you will remain on a soft diet.

PROTOTYPING AND VERIFICATION

Once the implants have healed, your dentist will create a final prototype of your dental bridge. This prototype will be verified to ensure that it is the correct size, shape, and color. Before authorizing the fabrication of your new zirconia implant smile.

The body should be implanted and given a 4-month period to integrate with the jaw bone.

Please remove the implants and allow the gums to naturally reshape themselves for a period of two weeks.

Kindly acquire impressions and forward them to an external laboratory for the fabrication of the abutment and crown. Typically, this procedure requires approximately 3-4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Currently, we do not use anesthesia to induce sleep in patients. Instead, we offer oral conscious sedation as an alternative. This medication is designed to help you relax during your procedure and often leads to a lack of memory of the event. To obtain this medication, we will provide you with a prescription that you can pick up from your preferred pharmacy. It is crucial to arrange for a designated driver who can transport you after taking the oral sedation pill(s) for this procedure. It is strongly recommended not to operate any motor vehicle or machinery after consuming this medication.

If you notice slight bleeding within the first 24 hours after your implant placement, it is considered normal. However, if you experience excessive bleeding, we recommend contacting the clinic for further assistance.

An effective home remedy for promoting clotting and stopping bleeding is using tea bags. To do this, take a regular tea bag, dampen it, remove excess water, and place it on the extraction site(s). The tanic acid found in the tea leaves helps with clot formation. If necessary, you can use multiple tea bags. Remember to replace the tea bags as they become saturated with blood. Feel free to repeat this process as many times as needed.

Currently, we do not offer the specific implant you are inquiring about. While titanium implants have a long history of success, zirconia implants are relatively new and their long-term effectiveness is still uncertain. Our main focus is to provide our patients with the highest level of success, predictability, and long-term results. As a result, we have made the decision not to provide zirconia implants at this time.
