Examination and Planning: Your dentist evaluates the condition of your teeth and jaw structure and creates your treatment plan by taking digital scans. Implant Placement: Implants are placed into the jawbone by the dentist through a surgical procedure. Sometimes the treatment starts with tooth extractions and patients may experience the difficulty of losing teeth. However, in some cases, implant treatment allows temporary teeth to be made before permanent teeth. Recovery Process: The osseointegration (fusion with bone) of the implants may take several months. Patients who need to have all their teeth extracted due to gum disease may postpone their treatment for fear of becoming toothless, which may accelerate bone loss. Temporary Teeth: In the processes following tooth loss, treatment can be continued within two days with temporary teeth without the problem of toothlessness. Prosthesis Placement: After the implants are fused, fixed prostheses or bridges are placed over them.
