This process is called osseointegration. It is very important not to rush this process, as this osseointegration is the key to stable dental implants. Once the appropriate time period has occurred, the second phase of the surgical procedure occurs which is generally known as phase two. This phase involves a local anesthetic and a tiny incision in the gum tissue to allow for a post to be placed into the dental implant. This post projecting into the oral cavity and once the gum tissue has healed the restoring dentist, of the dental implant team, will start fabricating the dental prosthesis.
Important aspects regarding dental implants involve oral hygiene.
It is imperative oral hygiene is maintained after the placement of dental implants and regularly scheduled professional cleanings be accomplished on the dental implants. Your dental implant team will coordinate this post implant placement care. All Rights Reserved.
