What is the Dental Implant procedure like?
Consultation and Examination
Before starting the dental implant procedure, Dr. Dimitrov will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and jawbone to determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. In this meeting, he’ll be able to discuss goals and expectations for treatments and answer any questions that you might have.
Implant Placement
If Dental Implants are right for you, Dr. Dimitrov will schedule a surgical appointment to place the implant post into your jawbone. This procedure is done under local anesthesia and may take several hours, depending on the number of implants being placed.
Healing and Integration
After placing the posts, your jawbone will need time to heal the screw or implant to fuse with the surrounding bone tissue. This typically takes several months, during which time you may wear a temporary crown (the top part of the dental implant)
Restoration Placement
Once the implant/screw has been fully integrated with your jawbone, Dr. Dimitrov will attach a custom-made dental restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture. The restoration will be designed to match your natural teeth in size, shape, and colour, giving you a seamless and natural-looking smile.
