At Casa Dentique, we follow a meticulous, step-by-step approach to ensure optimal results for each patient:

1. Consultation and Assessment

Every dental implant journey starts with a comprehensive consultation. During this stage, we will evaluate your overall oral health, review medical history, and conduct diagnostic tests like X-rays or a 3D scan of your mouth. This helps us determine if you have enough healthy jawbone to support the implant and whether any preliminary procedures, like bone grafting, may be required.

2. Treatment Planning

Once we establish that you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. This includes discussing the number of implants needed, the timeline for the procedure, and the cost estimate. We will also address any concerns or questions you may have.

3. Implant Placement

The next step is the surgical placement of the implant, which involves:

• Local Anesthesia: To ensure comfort, we will administer local anesthesia, numbing the area.
• Titanium Post Insertion: A small incision is made in the gum to expose the jawbone. A specialized drill is used to create a small hole where the titanium post (the implant) is placed. The titanium material is biocompatible, meaning it will fuse naturally with your bone over time.
• Healing Phase (Osseointegration): After the implant is placed, it will require time to heal and bond with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This usually takes several weeks to months, depending on individual healing capacity.

4. Temporary Tooth Placement (If Necessary)

During the healing phase, a temporary crown or bridge may be placed over the implant to maintain aesthetics and functionality while the implant settles.

5. Abutment Placement

Once the implant has fully integrated into the bone, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant. This will serve as the base for the replacement tooth.

6. Crown Fabrication and Placement

The final step involves creating and placing a custom-made crown that matches the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth. At Casa Dentique, we use high-quality materials for our crowns, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your other teeth for a completely natural look.

7. Follow-Up and Aftercare

Post-procedure care is crucial for the longevity of your implant. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and ensure that everything is progressing well. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, is vital to the success of your implant.
