Pre-Operative Instructions: Implants
Please be aware this can vary depending on location, bone quality, and existing or missing teeth, in case any doubt please contact us.
THE PROCESS:
- Get you numb & place the implant.
- Complicated cases -> tissue is moved out of the way & you will have stitches
- Stiches resorb on their own in 1-2 weeks (Complicated cases).
- Wait 3-4 months for bone and tissue to heal around and over implant.
- After 3 months, do measurements of tissue, adjacent teeth & implant
- 3 days later get final implant tooth
TEMPORARIES:
- Currently missing a tooth -> might not need a temporary since you didnt have tooth before
- Tooth in the back -> might not need temporary cause no one will see it
- Any tooth can get temporary -> usually is a removable temporary (called flipper) for additional cost.
