Looking forward to new teeth
Print Edition
I’ve heard from a lot of people about the advantages of dental implants, but people either think the process is very complicated, or fear having surgery.
Although dental implant technology requirements are very high, treatment is relatively straightforward and there is no reason to panic about surgery. Following is the implant treatment process.
1. Pre-surgery evaluation
An evaluation helps a physician understand a patient’s overall health, improve the success rate of implants and reduce risks. Pre-surgery evaluations are especially important for patients with heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and other conditions.
2. Implant operation
The implant operation includes anesthesia, local flap, minimally invasive surgical techniques, implant locking and wound suturing. Many people worry about the pain. The anesthetic ensures there is not much pain for patients. A person who can bear exelcymosis will have no problem with implant surgery.
3. Waiting period
The length of the waiting period is based on different implantation sites, Generally speaking, the lower jaw takes about three to four months and the palate is four to five months.
4. Completion
After doctor’s confirmation, the implants will look and act just like real teeth. Enjoy a better quality of life with yournew teeth.
