Step 1:
Examination and Diagnosis consist of an oral examination, full-mouth x-rays, panorex x-rays, diagnostic casts and photographs. It should be done less than six months prior to surgery.
Step 2:
Stage 1 Surgery- Implants are placed in jaw.
Swelling disappears 4 to 7 days after surgery.
Sutures are removed 7 to 10 days following surgery.
A soft diet is recommended during the first 4 to 6 weeks.
Osseointegration occurs in 3 to 6 months.
Example of upper and lower complete tissue integrated prosthesis supported by osseointegrated Brånemark dental implants during casting try-in procedure.
Step 3:
Stage 2 Surgery -- Implants are uncovered.
Implants are checked for osseointegration.
Abutments are placed.
X-rays are taken.
Impression of mouth is done for the final prosthesis.
Casting try-in procedure is completed.
Conversion Prosthesis is made.
Sutures are removed 7 to 10 days later.
Step 4:
Tissue Integrated Prosthesis is completed and placed onto the implants.
Final adjustments are made.
X-rays are taken.
Follow Up Care:
Oral hygiene maintenance is performed at 3 to 6 month intervals following placement of the final prosthesis. Regular and fastidious oral hygiene maintenance is the key to the long-term success of dental implants.
Completion of treatment can occur much more quickly with Teeth In A Day® and Teeth In An Hour™ Protocols.
