How is a Dental Implant Placed?

Dental implants in Hamilton or Stoney Creek are a multi-step process that require both a periodontist and a general dentist. Implants can last as long as a regular tooth, if not longer. They can also fall out if not given proper oral hygiene. The dental implant procedure happens as follows:

The former tooth’s root is removed. There is a five-month waiting period while the bone heals and fills in.

  • Once the bone is fully healed, a periodontist, specialist, or trained general dentist drills a hole to replace the root.
  • A titanium post with a metal cap is placed in the newly drilled root space. There is another five-month waiting period until the bone bonds around the titanium root. If the necessary bone height is inadequate, this is also when the periodontist will add the required height for a successful implant.
  • Once the bone has fully bonded around the titanium root, the general dentist fabricates a tooth for the implant. This is a two-week process. First, molds are taken, then they are sent to a lab so that a crown may be created, and finally they are sent back to the dentist as a functional replacement tooth.
  • This new tooth is placed on the replacement root and is immediately ready to act as a functional tooth in the patient’s mouth.
  • In the case of a front tooth needing a dental implant, a denture tooth is used to prevent the other permanent teeth from closing in the gap during the 5-month waiting period.
  • Patients that might not qualify for dental implants in Hamilton may include those with diabetes, osteoporosis, or cancer patients being treated with bisphosphonate. Please inquire with our staff in order to determine whether you would be a candidate for dental implants.

Dental implant procedures require time and teamwork between the dentist and patient, but at Gateshead Dental we make sure that all parts of the process are performed with the utmost care.
