What are the steps in the process of tooth implantation? How long will it take?

There are six steps in the process of tooth implantation.

1, first make a panoramic oral film, jaw CT, etc. Check the specific situation of the mouth, whether there is inflammation, alveolar bone absorption, etc. Then, the doctor will ask the patient's general medical history, and may need to check blood routine, coagulation time, blood pressure, blood sugar, hepatitis B, pulse and so on. After the operation is confirmed, the demoulding and dental implant scheme will be diagnosed.

2. Officially start dental implant surgery. A hole was made in the alveolar bone and an artificial implant was implanted. Close the gums, and the stitches can be removed in about a week.

3. Wait for the osseointegration period. The length of this time varies from person to person and from planting system to planting system. Some people and some dental implant systems need 2-3 months; Some need more than half a year)

4. Install the healing abutment, make the implant pass through the gum, and wait for the formation of soft tissue.

5. After about 2-3 weeks, after the soft tissue is formed, the dental implant doctor will replace the healed abutment with a permanent abutment.

6. After all the above steps are completed, the crown can be installed and the restoration can be completed. Then go to the hospital for regular check-ups twice a year.
