Our Dental Implant Treatment Process

Treatment Planning:

The first step in getting dental implants is crucial for success. Your dentist will consider your case individually, but the main steps include:

Making a Study Model

Taking a Cone Beam CT X-Ray

Deciding on the Best Implant Size

Assessing if Bone Grafting Is Needed

Custom surgical guides may also be created to ensure proper implant placement.

Surgical Implant Placement:

Surgery for placing a dental implant is done under local anesthesia, but additional sedation is available in our office. After gently pulling back the gum tissue, the implant is placed directly into the jawbone using special instruments. A healing cap is sometimes placed to allow the implant to integrate fully with the bone. Dr. Lowry can discuss options for temporary appliances while the implant heals. Discomfort after surgery is usually mild and lasts a few days to two weeks.

Implant Restoration:

The final step is attaching the crown, bridge, or denture to the dental implant. This procedure is straightforward and painless, but special attention to detail is essential. Dr. Lowry will make molds of your teeth and work closely with a lab technician to ensure the restoration looks good and functions properly.
