Prosthetic
Dental Implant Procedure
The
prosthetic dental implant procedure process may take from three to nine
months because of the time needed
for your bone to heal around the dental implant body. |
| |
 |
First
procedure: under anesthesia an artificial root (implant body)
is placed into the jaw bone. Healing time is up to six months (some systems
have immediate loading).
|
|
Screw
retained crown (cap).
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Second procedure: at the time of uncovery, a healing cap (abutment) is placed on to the prosthetic
dental implant (some systems are different and there is no need for healing
abutments). |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Third procedure: when the bone is completely healed to the dental implant, proper fixtures
will be placed on to the prosthetic dental implant. At that point the implant
will be loaded with either a screw retained crown or a cemented crown. |
