The Dental Implant Procedure in Tucson

Step-by-step guide to the dental implant procedure

The procedure usually involves one consultation visit, one surgery visit, and a follow-up visit to place the abutments. Dental implants patients can expect a thorough consultation to determine the best approach for their specific needs.

Our oral surgeons will help select the right type of implant for specific restoration needs. Local anesthesia is commonly used in oral surgery procedures to numb the surgical area and prevent pain, ensuring the patient remains conscious while alleviating discomfort.

What to Expect During The Dental Implant Procedure

• Same-day dental implants are available for emergency and urgent dental care.
• Benefits of same-day implants include a single surgical process and faster treatment.

What to Expect After the Procedure

After the dental implant procedure, patients can expect some swelling and discomfort around the implantation site. This can be managed with pain medication and antibiotics if necessary. Patients should also expect to follow a soft food diet for a few days while the bone heals. It’s also important to keep the implant site clean and follow the dentist’s instructions for aftercare. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime and provide patients with a natural-looking and functional smile. Regular follow-up visits will ensure that the implant is healing properly and that your new teeth are functioning as intended.

Types of Dental Implants

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants offer a versatile and effective solution. There are several types of dental implants available, each designed to meet specific needs and preferences. Here are some of the most common types of dental implants

1. Single Tooth Implant: Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, this type of implant consists of a single implant post, abutment, and crown. It provides a natural look and feel, seamlessly blending with your existing teeth.
2. Multiple Dental Implants: For those missing several teeth, multiple dental implants can be used. This involves placing multiple implant posts, abutments, and crowns to restore both function and aesthetics.
3. Implant-Supported Teeth: This option is perfect for those who want to replace traditional detachable dentures. It involves a series of implant posts, abutments, and a fixed denture, offering a more stable and comfortable solution.
4. All-In-4 Teeth in One Day: This innovative procedure replaces an entire set of missing or unrecoverable teeth in a single day. It uses four implant posts, abutments, and a fixed denture, providing a quick and efficient solution for a full-mouth restoration.
5. Mini Dental Implants: These are smaller versions of standard implants, often used when the jaw lacks sufficient bone structure. They consist of a smaller implant post, abutment, and crown, making them a suitable option for specific cases.

By understanding the different types of dental implants, you can make an informed decision about the best option for your dental needs.
