Dental Implants Procedure

Your dentist in North Lakes will conduct an initial consultation which includes X-rays and study models. A detailed treatment plan will be presented after thorough analysis and research.

To acquire an implant, there are typically three stages:

1. The implant is carefully inserted into the jawbone by the dentist.
2. An implant’s strength comes from the new bone developing around the implant surface and securing it in place. This process is known as osseointegration. Osseointegration is a gradual process that involves “fusing with the bone.” Before restorative phase (placement of prosthesis teeth) of an implant, some patients may have to wait until the implant has been fully integrated, which could take 2-6 months.
3. Once the osseointegration has reached stability, the restorative phase (placement of prosthesis teeth such crown, implant supported bridges or implant retained denture) can be carried out by Your North Lakes dentist. The crown, bridge or denture will be made to match the rest of your teeth in terms of size, shape, colour and fit. In the interim, your dentist may provide you with a temporary crown, bridge or denture to help you eat and speak properly until the permanent replacement.
