Can the doctor tell me the steps involved in the implant process?
- Phase 1: Your doctor will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gum tissue, and jawbone. Study models made from impressions of your teeth and jaw, as well as X-rays, aid in precise treatment planning. Computer tomography (CT) scanning technology provides detailed images of internal oral structures to help the doctor plan precise placement of All-on-4 dental implants.
- Phase 2: On the day of your implant surgery, Dr. Wallace will place the dental implants. You’ll receive four implants to support an entire row of replacement teeth. Your restorative dentist will attach your dental prosthetic following placement of the implants.
- Phase 3: During the healing process, your jawbone tissue will grow very tightly around the implant posts, a process called osseointegration. This process can take 2 to 6 months. Osseointegration usually occurs faster in the lower jaw.
- Phase 4: You’ll go back to your restorative dentist to receive permanent replacement teeth (custom crowns, full dentures, a partial, or a bridge) to beautifully renew your smile!
