How Are Full Mouth Dental Implants In Mohegan Lake, NY Placed?
There are many steps that need to be taken in order to place full mouth dental implants. The following shows the specific steps taken in a full mouth dental implant procedure:
Initial Examination and Consultation
People’s journeys towards a fully restored smile with full mouth dental implants begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation. During the examination and consultation, the doctor will assess the patient’s oral health, discuss their goals, and address any concerns they may have.
This is also the time for the doctor to determine whether or not the patient is a candidate for full mouth dental implants. The patient’s jawbone density and their overall health will be considered during their examination and consultation for full mouth dental implants.
Cone Beam CT Scanning
To ensure the patient’s full mouth dental implants are precisely placed, the doctor will use an in-house cone beam CT scanner to help guide the surgical placement. This advanced imaging technology creates a detailed 3D model of the patient’s mouth the doctor can then use to accurately plan their full mouth dental implant procedure.
The 3D model gives the doctor valuable insights into the patient’s jawbone structure, nerve pathways, and other vital information that guides their full mouth dental implant placement process.
Sedation Dentistry
In order to have a comfortable and anxiety-free full mouth dental implant procedure experience, patients can be administered with sedation dentistry.
Precise Placement Of Dental Implants
Precision is of utmost importance during a full mouth dental implant placement procedure, as the long-term success and stability of the patient’s new smile depends on it. The advanced planning, guided by the 3D images, ensures that four or more dental implants are accurately angled and placed in the patient’s jawbone.
Temporary Prosthesis
In many cases, a temporary prosthesis can be attached to the four or more dental implants in the same surgical appointment. A temporary prosthesis gives full mouth dental implant patients a beautiful and functional new smile in one day.
Healing Period
Following the secure placement of the dental implants and the temporary prosthesis, there’s a healing period. It’s essential for patients to allow time for their dental implants to fully integrate with their jawbone. This process, called osseointegration, can take several months. During this time, the doctor will monitor the patients progress to ensure everything is proceeding as planned.
Attaching The Final Prosthesis
Once the dental implants have successfully integrated with the patient’s jawbone, the temporary prosthesis can be replaced by a final prosthesis. The color, shape, and size of the final prosthesis is custom-made to give patients the exact new smile of their dreams.
