Step 1: Consultation and Assessment
The journey towards implant placement begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Daylis de Andrade. During this appointment, your oral health will be assessed, and a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs will be developed. X-rays and scans may be taken to evaluate bone density and determine the optimal placement for your implants.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
Once your assessment is complete, a detailed treatment plan will be created. This plan will outline the number of implants needed, their placement locations, and any additional procedures required, such as bone grafting or sinus lifts. Dr. Daylis de Andrade will take the time to explain each step of the process and address any concerns or questions you may have.
Step 3: Implant Placement
The next step is the surgical placement of the implants into the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Daylis de Andrade will precisely position the implants in the designated areas of the jawbone, where they will fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
Step 4: Healing and Integration
Following implant placement, a period of healing is necessary to allow the implants to integrate fully with the surrounding bone. This process can take several months, during which temporary restorations may be placed to maintain aesthetics and function.
Step 5: Restoration
Once the implants have successfully integrated with the bone, the final restorations can be attached. These can include crowns, bridges, or dentures, depending on the number of missing teeth and your treatment plan. Dr. Daylis de Andrade will ensure that your restorations are customized to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing you with a beautiful and functional smile.
Types of Implants:
Endosteal Implants: These are the most common type of dental implants and are surgically placed directly into the jawbone. They are typically made of titanium and offer excellent stability and longevity.
Subperiosteal Implants: These implants are placed on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue. They are an alternative option for patients who have insufficient bone density to support endosteal implants.
All-on-4 Implants: This innovative technique allows for the placement of a full arch of teeth using only four strategically positioned implants. All-on-4 implants provide a fixed and stable solution for patients with extensive tooth loss.
Mini Implants: Smaller in diameter than traditional implants, mini implants are ideal for patients with limited bone volume or those seeking a less invasive treatment option.
