• The procedure involved in making dental implants
  includes
• Evaluation of the oral cavity
• Placement of Dental Implants
• Attachment of Abutment
• Fixing the Crown

• Evaluation of oral cavity
• An oral or maxillofacial surgeon will evaluate
  the dental cavity to check jaw bone density and
  overall dental health. When patients do not have
  enough jawbone density, a bone graft will be
  placed in the area of the missing tooth. In case
  of any infections the dental specialist may
  prescribe antibiotics and other treatments.

• Placement of Implants
• The implant made of a thin titanium rod which
  will act as the teeth root is attached to the
  jawbone under the gum line. This is achieved by a
  series of incisions in the gums followed by
  drilling a hole in jawbone to fix the implant
  properly. After fixing, the surgeon will attach a
  healing cap or cover screw.

• Recovery from the surgery
• The implant site may be painful, swollen and
  bleed a lot.
• The healing process may take a few weeks to four
  months.
• During this period bone cells will be getting
  fixed to the implants, the process is known as
  Osseointegration.

8

• Attachment of Abutment
• The gums will be reopened and an abutment is
  attached. The process is done by an oral surgeon
  under a local anesthetic.

9

• Fixing the crown
• After healing from the minor surgery the
  prosthodontist will fix the permanent crown using
  a screw or cement onto the abutment.

10

• Maintaining the implant
• The success rate of dental implants is 95. But,
  it is important to brush and floss the implant
  regularly to prevent gum diseases which may cause
  the implant to fail.
