Consultation and Examination
During your initial consultation, we conduct a thorough assessment to evaluate your oral health and determine your suitability for dental implants. This involves reviewing your medical history, performing a comprehensive oral examination, and discussing your goals and concerns. We ensure you have a clear understanding of the implant process and address any questions you may have.
3D Imaging and Planning
Utilizing advanced 3D imaging technology, we capture detailed images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. This allows for precise planning of the implant placement. Through digital software, we simulate the procedure, assessing bone density and anatomical considerations to optimize the placement for stability and long-term success.
Implant Placement
The surgical phase involves precisely inserting the titanium implant into the jawbone. Dr. Risha de Leon’s expertise ensures that this procedure is performed with accuracy and care, promoting optimal integration of the implant with the bone tissue.
Bone Grafting (if needed)
In cases where the jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume to support an implant, bone grafting may be recommended. This procedure involves augmenting the bone structure using bone graft materials, promoting regeneration and enhancing the strength necessary to support the implant securely.
Abutment Placement
Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, an abutment—a connector post—is attached to the implant. This component protrudes above the gum line and serves as the foundation for securing the final restoration.
Crown Placement
The final step involves placing a custom-made crown over the abutment. This crown is meticulously crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. Dr. Risha de Leon ensures a precise fit and alignment for a seamless integration with your smile.
Follow-Up Visits
Post-procedure, we schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your healing progress and the integration of the implant with your natural bone. These visits are crucial for assessing the success of the procedure and ensuring your continued oral health. We provide ongoing care and guidance to support the longevity of your dental implant.
