Dental Implants
Implant treatment is planned after assessing jaw bone, gum health, and general health. Typical steps include placement, bone healing, and the final crown. Immediate placement or early loading may be discussed in selected cases—it varies for each patient.
Frequently asked questions
- Are implants suitable for everyone?
- They require adequate bone and controlled medical conditions. Bone grafting or gum treatment may be needed first.
- How long is the healing period?
- Depending on site (upper or lower jaw) and bone quality, healing may take weeks to months. Your timeline is discussed after evaluation.
- What about daily care?
- Good oral hygiene and interdental cleaning (floss, interdental brushes, water flosser if advised) are recommended.
