WHAT IS INVOLVED?
The Process
Consultation
Our dental specialists/ dentists will find out the details of your medical and dental history, go through a consultation and examination, and take an x-ray of your teeth and jaws, to ascertain if you are suitable for dental implants. Thereafter, our dentists will discuss with you to recommend the most appropriate solution for your needs.
Implant Placement
A titanium screw – the dental implant, is placed into your jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The implant serves as an anchor for your new tooth/ teeth. Temporary replacement teeth will be fabricated and fitted on the same day as your implant placement so that you do not leave our clinic without teeth.
Fitting Implant Crown
2 to 6 months later, once the bond is formed between the implant(s) and your bone (osseointegration), new permanent teeth (implant crowns) can be firmly attached to the implant(s). Our dental specialists/ dentists will make an impression of your teeth and fabricate the replacement teeth (dental crowns) that will be attached to the dental implants.
Once completed, your new teeth will look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.
Follow Up Care
Dental implants require the same maintenance as your natural teeth – flossing, brushing, and regular dental check-ups. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor the dental implants, teeth, and gums to make sure that everything is in tip-top condition.
