What Happens During Dental Implant Treatment?


Implant treatment is usually performed by a general dentist, oral surgeon, prosthodontist, periodontist or a team of these doctors. At Tavormina Dentistry we are proud to be able to say that we are your dental implant team. We provide both placement of dental implants, restorations for dental implants, sinus lifts and bone grafting procedures related to placing dental implants.  If we receive a referral from a general dentist, we can do bone grafting and implant placement for the general dentist and then the general dentist completes the restorations for his patient. We have also done sinus lifts and bone grafting for periodontists only trained in implant placement.

 To devise the best treatment plan for you we first complete a medical and dental history and a thorough oral examination with x-rays. We want to make sure you are a candidate for dental implants from a dental and medical perspective.

First, a member of your team surgically places the implant in the jaw with the top of the implant just above the top of the bone. Your gums cover the implants. Generally, from three to six months or more is allowed for the bone tissue to grow around the implant and hold them securely in place.

Immediately after surgery we will give you specific post-surgical instructions to assure the best possible healing. We are unique in that we are trained to give you medication to prevent pain, swelling and infection. At the implant placement appointment you may be fitted with temporary dentures or natural-looking teeth to help you function as normally as possible until your dental implants are ready for the final restoration. You may have special dietary and oral hygiene instructions.

Once the jawbone has firmly healed around the implant, a small post is attached to each implant. The post protrudes through the gumline and serves as an anchor for the replacement tooth. After your gums have fully healed, the replacement teeth or dentures are securely attached to the posts.

  2. There are different ways in which a missing tooth or teeth can be replaced and dental implants are one of them. Dental implants are good and effective for patients who require fixed teeth replacement, which could be single, multiple or it could be a complete mouth with dental implants. The quality of the dental implants is of utmost importance. Naturally the skill of the surgeon who performs the operation should be perfect, and besides, a lot depends upon the oral and general health of the patient. The dental implant requires the latest dental equipment and technology. The disinfection and sterilization procedures have to be perfect so that there is no infection for the patient.

  14. A certified dental technician or CDT, on the other hand, has a salary package of $41,000 dollars annually. But he or she can earn up to $69,000 or $70,000 per year if his or her credentials are great. The variations in the salary really depend on ones experience and qualifications. A dental technician that portrays the role of a supervisor has the potential to earn a salary package that ranges from about $50,000 to $75,000 per year. Dental Technician Salary
