Dental Implant Surgery: The Procedure
At London Dental Specialists, we perform dental implant surgery with precision and care. This step is crucial for the success of your new smile.
Key Aspects of the Procedure:
- Local anesthesia for your comfort
- Precise implant placement using surgical guides
- Minimally invasive techniques
- Same-day implants for suitable cases
Surgical Steps:
Step | Description |
1. Preparation | Sterilize area and administer anesthesia |
2. Incision | Make small incision in gum to expose bone |
3. Implant Placement | Drill precise hole and insert titanium implant |
4. Closure | Close incision with stitches |
For complex cases, we may perform bone grafting or sinus lifts during this stage. Our specialists use advanced techniques like All-on-4® or zygomatic implants when appropriate.
After surgery, we provide detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. The implant then integrates with your jawbone over several months, creating a strong foundation for your new teeth.
Our team monitors your healing closely, ensuring optimal recovery and preparing for the final restoration phase.
