The process of getting a dental implant typically takes several months, depending on individual factors. Here's a general timeline:
1. Initial Consultation and Planning:
During your first visit to Orthosquare Multispecialty Dental Chain, our team will assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan. If the jawbone needs preparation (such as a bone graft), this step may extend the overall timeline.
2. Implant Placement:
Once ready, the implant (a titanium post) is surgically placed into the jawbone. This procedure usually takes 1-2 hours. Afterward, the healing process, called osseointegration (where the implant fuses with the bone), can take 3-6 months. This step ensures a strong foundation for the artificial tooth.
3. Abutment and Crown Placement:
Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment (a connector) is placed, followed by the custom-made crown. This step typically takes a couple of weeks, and your new tooth will look and function just like a natural one.
It’s important to be aware of potential tooth implant side effects like mild discomfort, infection risk, or bone loss. At Orthosquare Multispecialty Dental Chain, we prioritize patient care and use advanced techniques to minimize these risks, ensuring a smooth recovery and successful implant treatment.
For a complete tooth implant, expect the process to take anywhere from 4-9 months, depending on healing and other factors. Consult with our expert team at Orthosquare Multispecialty Dental Chain for personalized guidance and support throughout your implant journey.
