Dr. Patel is happy to answer all your questions about the dental implant process including timelines, risks, and costs.

Dr. Patel will use advanced diagnostic imaging tools such as intraoral cameras, CT scans, or digital X-rays to plan your dental implant treatment. These tools enable him to evaluate the quantity and quality of your jawbone and identify any oral health problems. She can also determine the best placement for your implants.

Dr. Patel will prepare for the placement of your dental implants after gathering all diagnostic information. To ensure long-term success, Dr. Patel may address any oral health problems, such as tooth decay or periodontal diseases. Dr. Patel carefully plans the placement of your implant, taking into consideration factors such as bone densities, sinus locations, and adjacent teeth, to achieve optimal aesthetics, function, and appearance.

Implant placement surgery is the next step of the dental implant process. This involves the surgical placement into your jawbone. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia in order to maintain your comfort. Dr. Patel uses precision techniques and the latest equipment to insert the implants in the jawbone at the desired positions. After the implants have been placed, temporary healing caps and abutments can be used to support temporary restorations.

After the implant has been placed, it is necessary to heal for a certain period to allow the implant to integrate with surrounding bone tissue. The osseointegration process is crucial for the stability of your dental implant. Dr. Patel provides detailed instructions on post-operative care in order to maximize healing and minimize discomfort. Although osseointegration can take several months, it is the basis for your final restorations.

After osseointegration, Dr. Patel begins the process of placing your custom-made dental implants with prosthetic teeth. It may be necessary to attach abutments between the implant and the final restoration. Dr. Patel ensures that the final restorations you receive, whether they are individual crowns or bridges supported by implants, or dentures attached to implants, meet the highest aesthetic and quality standards. Your new teeth are carefully crafted to seamlessly blend with your existing smile, restoring comfort and confidence.

Dr. Patel schedules follow-up appointments after your final restorations are placed to monitor the healing process and ensure that your dental implants will last a long time. These appointments are an opportunity for you to ask any questions and to make any adjustments necessary to your restorations to ensure comfort and functionality. Dr. Patel can also give you advice on how to maintain your oral hygiene and care for your dental implant to ensure their longevity. This will keep your smile beautiful and healthy for many years.
