I have introduced dental implants at my clinic as a step to service our patients who require complex procedures.
And dental implants are no easy task. But before I go and explain the dental implant process, I need to tell you another good news!
The renowned dentist in California, Dr. Ibrahimi, will be the lead surgeon. This means your teeth are now in the best hands ever.
From consultation to the surgery, he will ensure that the dental implant process goes smoothly.
The Dental Implant Procedure
In short, the old/missing teeth are replaced with artificial teeth. Our natural teeth are held tight by the
roots of the teeth buried deep in the jaw. With age or other factors, the loss of natural teeth occurs and along with it we lose the advantage
of the natural roots that keep the teeth held firmly.
Which is why we need to use metal screws that will hold the artificial teeth. Since the screws are drilled in the jaw, the healing process can take many months
and the patient should be prepared for it.
Are you a Candidate for a Dental Implant?
This procedure is not for everyone. The success of the dental implant rests on several factors, some I am listing below:
– If you smoke, this is not for you
– If your current health condition affects your bone healing, this will be very risky for you
– Can you commit to several months for the bone healing? If yes, then you are a candidate.
– Your oral tissues must be in gopod health
Mitigating risks of Dental implant Surgery
We start of with a complete dental examination, and a thorough review of your medical history.
Based on the results, we will come up with the surgery plan. Please do note that there are risks of Dental implant Surgery.
For example, inhjury to nerves, infection at the site of the surgery and damage to blood vessels.
Which is why we invest in the thorough exam and your medical history to ensure that we have taken all precautions necessary
before the surgery begins.
