  apprehension about what the process will involve.

  about the dental implant process.

• The main steps of the dental implant process
• X-rays The dentist will require x-rays for
  prognostic and evaluative purposes. Panoramic
  x-rays, x-rays and 3D CT scan will be required to
  determine bone and gum condition and to identify
  any kinds of warnings.

4

• Impressions Your dentist will take an impression
  on your mouth which will help in providing a good
  replica of the teeth, gums and the surrounding
  tissues. The dentist will determine the right
  sized metal impression tray and fill it with
  alginate or polyvinyl siloxane. You will be
  required to bite down on the U-shaped plastic or
  metal impression tray. Once that is done,the tray
  will be removed and sent to the lab for
  processing.

• Tooth Extraction if the troublesome tooth still
  exists, it will need to be extracted. This can
  happen at the same time as implant insertion.
  Expect your dentist to explain what type of
  anesthesia he/she will be using. Usually it is a
  local injection of licodaine or Novocaine. It
  doesnt take long to pull a tooth but if the
  tooth is fractured, the dentist will be cautious.
  You can expect to feel a little tugging and
  pressure as the dentist wiggles the tooth out.

• Implant After tooth extraction, the Dental
  Implant Dentist in Staten Island will drill a
  hole in your jawbone this feels similar to
  having a cavity drilled. In some of the cases,
  the dentist will have to make an incision in the
  gum to expose the bone and in this case you can
  expect to have stiches. The dentist places the
  implant deep in the jawbone, this serves as an
  artificial root for the new tooth. The whole
  appointment will take up to two hours at most.

7

• Abutment placement As your jawbone heals it
  will fuse with the implant. This process can take
  weeks or months. Once your dentist declares that
  the implant is stable, an abutment will be placed
  on top of it to act as a connector to the crown.

8

• Permanent crown Finally the permanent crown is
  attached to the abutment and you are done with
  the dental implant procedure.
