A dental implant is one of the most reliable and long-lasting solutions for missing teeth. At Alpha Plus Dental Center in Brookline, we offer a state-of-the-art implant experience, combining advanced technology like plasma treatments, laser therapy, and iTero scanning to make your procedure comfortable, precise, and successful. If you’re considering dental implants, here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect from your initial consultation to final restoration.
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Comprehensive Evaluation
The first step is a detailed consultation where we assess your oral health and determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants.
What to expect:
- Digital X-rays and 3D iTero Scanning for a clear view of your bone structure and teeth alignment.
- Comprehensive oral exam to check for gum health and bone density.
- Personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and smile goals.
If necessary, we’ll discuss preparatory procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts to ensure a strong foundation for your implants.
Step 2: Preparation and Pre-Treatment
Before the implant placement, we focus on optimizing your oral health to ensure the best results.
Advanced Technology Used:
- Plasma Therapy (PRF): Helps accelerate healing by using your body’s own growth factors to promote tissue regeneration.
- Laser Treatment: Minimally invasive and pain-free, laser therapy improves precision and reduces recovery time by sterilizing the surgical area and enhancing gum healing.
These treatments reduce the risk of infection and make the procedure more comfortable.
Step 3: Implant Placement Procedure
Once your mouth is prepared, we move to the implant placement phase. This is a surgical procedure performed with the utmost precision.
What Happens:
- A titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root.
- We use digital guides for highly accurate placement. This ensures the implant is perfectly positioned for long-term success.
- For patient comfort, local anesthesia is used, and sedation options are available if needed.
The implant will fuse with the bone over the next few months in a process called osseointegration, creating a solid foundation for your new tooth.
Step 4: Healing and Temporary Restoration
During the healing phase, it’s crucial to protect the implant and maintain oral hygiene.
What to Expect:
- A temporary crown or bridge may be placed for aesthetic purposes.
- Follow-up visits will monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.
Our team will guide you on post-surgical care, including diet, oral hygiene tips, and managing any temporary discomfort.
Step 5: Final Restoration
Once the implant is fully integrated, the final step is placing your custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture.
How We Ensure Perfection:
- iTero Digital Scanning: No messy impressions—this technology creates an accurate digital model for your restoration.
- Custom-Made Restoration: Crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless look.
- Precision Fit and Function: Your new tooth will feel and function like a natural one.
