Procedure preparations

  • The dental implant procedure aims to replace missing or damaged teeth with artificial ones.
  • The artificial tooth consists of three parts: an artificial tooth root (threaded post), an abutment, and a dental restoration, which could be a crown, a bridge, or a denture. Dental implants are mostly made of titanium and sometimes ceramic.
  • In the dental implant surgery, firstly an incision is made in the gum to create a hole in the jawbone to implant the threaded post, then it’s left for about 3-9 months or more to fuse completely with the bone. After that, the abutment and dental restoration are placed.
  • Dental implant surgery is done under local anesthesia and sometimes general anesthesia, and the time of the procedure differs depending on the case.

Procedure preparations

  • Examining the teeth’s health in general.
  • Reviewing the medical history of the patient and making sure that they’re eligible for the dental implant surgery because there are some diseases, such as diabetes, that might make the patient ineligible for dental implant surgery.
  • The bone density in the patient must be good for dental implants.
  • You must stop smoking for awhile before the surgery.
  • You must stop taking bloodthinners (anti-coagulants), ibuprofen, and any other drugs or herbs that the doctor mentions two weeks before the surgery.

Procedure complications

  • Infections.
  • Bleedings.
  • Jaw fractures.
  • Damage in the surrounding teeth.
  • Damage in the nerves and blood vessels.
  • Damage in the sinus.

Procedure instructions

  • Some side effects might occur temporarily after dental implants, such as face and gum swelling, pain, minor bleeding, bruises, and sore throat.
  • You can’t have anything for at least two hours after the surgery.
  • You must practice good mouth and teeth hygiene.
  • You must stick to the medications prescribed by the doctor and the review visits.
  • Immediately contact your doctor if any problem or weird symptom emerges.
  • Initial healing might take a week, yet as we said, the artificial tooth root takes 3-9 months to fuse completely with the jawbone. Dental implants might last a lifetime, but the dental restoration (crowns and bridges) might require replacing after about 15 years, while dentures might need replacing after about 7 years, depending on the case.

Tooth Extraction
In a tooth extraction, a tooth is removed completely from its socket. Dental extraction is done when the tooth is severely damaged and other treatments didn’t work, such as severe tooth decay, a fractured tooth, crowded teeth, damage in the tissue and ligaments surrounding the tooth, and severe gum disease. The tooth extraction procedure is done under local anesthesia, and in some cases, the dentist might need to make incisions inside the gum in the place of the extracted tooth, or they might need to make a dental bone graft .

Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a group of artificial teeth that are placed where there are missing teeth, especially if there’s a missing row of teeth. There are several types of dental bridges, and they generally consist of abutments with artificial teeth (pontics). The most common type is the traditional dental bridge, which is made of dental crowns on both ends of the bridge with artificial teeth between them. A traditional dental bridge is prepared by taking a dental impression to the lab to make it, and sometimes a temporary bridge is used until the final one becomes ready. It usually takes 2-4 weeks to make the bridge.

Dental Bone Graft
In dental bone graft, the density and volume of the jawbone are increased by implanting bone material in the place of the thinning or missing bone. Dental bone grafting surgery is done in several cases, such as filling an empty tooth socket after an extraction, providing a strong foundation for dental implants , replacing and repairing the jaw in case of dental traumas or gum diseases, increasing the width and volume of the jawbone, rebuilding the jaw before dentures , and stabilizing and supporting a loose tooth. Dental bone grafts can be done by using bone from the person themselves, a bone from a donor, a bone from an animal, or by using materials that are made in the lab. Dental bone graft surgery is done under local anesthesia, and the patient can return home on the same day.
