It is performed by a dentist in our hospital's operating room. A dental implant is a cylindrical device made of titanium alloy that is placed within the bone to provide retention for fixed or removable dentures.
It involves preparing implant sockets within the jawbone that are slightly smaller than the width and length of your natural tooth roots, and then inserting titanium-based cylindrical screws (implants) into these sockets. In cases where there is insufficient bone tissue, additional surgical procedures such as placing bone grafts at the surgical site and covering these grafts with a membrane may be performed.
All surgical procedures are performed under local anesthesia. Prosthetics can be made 3-6 months after implant placement. The implants are surgically opened, and healing caps are placed.
