  2. Now that you have made a decision to have dental implants, you may be experiencing a little apprehension about what the process will involve. Relax, it is not as complicated as you may think, millions of people all over the world go for a dental implant procedure and they have good results to show for it. Read on to find out more about the dental implant process.

  3. The main steps of the dental implant process • X-rays: The dentist will require x-rays for prognostic and evaluative purposes. Panoramic x-rays, x-rays and 3D CT scan will be required to determine bone and gum condition and to identify any kinds of warnings.

  4. Impressions: Your dentist will take an impression on your mouth which will help in providing a good replica of the teeth, gums and the surrounding tissues. The dentist will determine the right sized metal impression tray and fill it with alginate or polyvinyl siloxane. You will be required to bite down on the U-shaped plastic or metal impression tray. Once that is done,the tray will be removed and sent to the lab for processing.

  5. Tooth Extraction: if the troublesome tooth still exists, it will need to be extracted. This can happen at the same time as implant insertion. Expect your dentist to explain what type of anesthesia he/she will be using. Usually it is a local injection of licodaine or Novocaine. It doesn’t take long to pull a tooth but if the tooth is fractured, the dentist will be cautious. You can expect to feel a little tugging and pressure as the dentist wiggles the tooth out.

  6. Implant: After tooth extraction, the Dental Implant Dentist in Staten Island will drill a hole in your jawbone; this feels similar to having a cavity drilled. In some of the cases, the dentist will have to make an incision in the gum to expose the bone and in this case you can expect to have stiches. The dentist places the implant deep in the jawbone, this serves as an artificial root for the new tooth. The whole appointment will take up to two hours at most.

  7. Abutment placement: As your jawbone heals it will fuse with the implant. This process can take weeks or months. Once your dentist declares that the implant is stable, an abutment will be placed on top of it to act as a connector to the crown.

  8. Permanent crown: Finally the permanent crown is attached to the abutment and you are done with the dental implant procedure.
