Preliminary Consultation and Assessment : The patient first needs to have a preliminary consultation with the dentist, who will evaluate the patient's oral health, tooth loss and overall health. This step also includes oral X-ray or CT scanning to ensure that the conditions of the implant area are suitable for implant surgery. -
Develop treatment plan : According to the evaluation results, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan will detail the type of implant, the location of the implant and the specific steps of the surgery. -
Implant implantation : Under local anesthesia, doctors will accurately implant implants in patients' alveolar bone. Implants are usually made of titanium metal, which will serve as the root of new teeth. -
Healing period : After implant implantation, it needs a period of healing, which is called osseointegration. It usually takes several months. The implant and bone tissue are closely combined to provide a stable foundation for subsequent crown installation. -
Installation pedestal : Once the implant is fully integrated with the bone tissue, the doctor will install a abutment on the implant. The abutment is the part connecting the implant and the crown. -
Fabrication and installation of dental crowns : According to the color and shape of the patient's teeth, the dental technician will make a crown that matches the natural teeth. After the crown is made, the doctor will fix it on the abutment. -
Postoperative nursing and reexamination : After the installation of implant teeth, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions for postoperative care, and regular review to ensure the health and stability of implant teeth.
