Dental Implants

During your dental implant consultation at White 32, our team of professionals will address your concerns and assess your eligibility for dental implants.Our dentist will comprehensively evaluate your overall health, as well as the condition of your teeth and gums. This will involve conducting appropriate X-rays or scans to determine the most suitable treatment plan for you. Additionally, our dentists will assess the density of the bone in your face and jaw.

Your dentist will then provide a comprehensive explanation of your condition, the various treatment options available, along the associated benefits and risks of each option, as well as their procedures. They will customize a treatment plan specifically for you, taking into account all of your concerns. Your dentist will guide you in the planning of your treatment, based on your individual condition..

Prior to the placement of your dental implant, the designated implant sites will be fully numbed using a local anesthetic to ensure that you experience no pain throughout the procedure. However, you may still feel a slight sensation of pressure or vibration. accordance with your specific concerns and the agreed upon personalized treatment plan, additional sedation may be provided before the surgery, in addition to the local anesthetic, or general anesthesia may be administered.

In cases where the natural tooth remains in its socket, extraction of the relevant tooth or teeth will be necessary prior to the placement of the implant fixture into your jaw bone, as determined by your dentist.

After the implant is placed, your body will need a few days to adapt and accept it. It is normal to experience discomfort, pain, or mild swelling during this time. Your dentist will prescribe pain-relieving medication or suggest over-the-counter options to help manage any discomfort. Following this, you will be required to schedule a second appointment with your dentist to evaluate the progress of the healing process.

The newly placed implant fixture stimulates the growth of new jawbone, which effectively integrates the fixture with the jaw and gums in a permanent manner. This process, known as osseointegration, typically takes around 3 to 6 months for the implant fixture to fuse and become fully integrated with your jawbone. While the healing period occurs and the permanent prosthesis is being created, a temporary prosthesis will be provided to support functionality.

Upon successful integration of the implant fixture, the final implant prosthesis, which could be a crown, implant-supported bridge, or denture, will be created and fitted. This prosthesis will be tailored to match the shape of your mouth and neighboring teeth, ensuring a seamless blend that closely resembles your natural teeth in both appearance and sensation.

After the placement of your dental implants, it is necessary to continue visiting your dentist every 6 months. In addition to regular cleanings and check-ups, your dentist will also assess the successful integration and ongoing functionality of your dental implants.
