Once the surgeon places the implant in the bone, the process of bone integration begins, which usually lasts about 12 weeks. When bone integration occurs, the implant is firmly attached to the bone and that is when it can withstand the load of a prosthesis that meets all functional and aesthetic requirements similar to a natural tooth.
Another important feature of bone integration is that it is truly stable over time, so it can be said that dental implants are treatments that can be enjoyed for many years.
COMPOSITION OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Crafted from chemically pure titanium, dental implants undergo specialized surface treatment to facilitate bone integration. This unique surface treatment, coupled with the quality of titanium used, influences the overall effectiveness and longevity of the implants. At BRisbane Dental, we prioritize implants of the highest quality to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
COMPONENTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT
Implant Fixture: This component, surgically placed into the bone, forms the foundation of the dental implant.
Transepithelial Pillar: Emerging from the bone and protruding into the mouth, this pillar provides support for the dental crown or prosthesis.
Dental Crown or Prosthesis: The visible part of the implant, resembling a natural tooth, connects to the transepithelial pillar, completing the restoration.
TREATMENT PROCEDURE
FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS
Our approach to dental implant treatment is tailored to each individual, with meticulous planning and comprehensive assessments guiding the process:
Initial Study and Treatment Planning: Conducting thorough examinations and diagnostic tests to formulate a personalized treatment plan.
Surgical Phase: Depending on the bone condition, the surgical phase may be completed in one or multiple interventions, ensuring optimal implant placement and bone integration.
Prosthetic or Restorative Phase: Once the implant has integrated successfully, the prosthetic teeth are connected, focusing on both aesthetics and functionality.
Maintenance Phase: Regular check-ups and hygiene practices are crucial for long-term implant success, minimizing the risk of complications and ensuring optimal oral health.
