Dental implant fixing is a dental procedure used to replace missing or damaged teeth. A dental implant is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an anchor for an artificial tooth or a dental bridge.

The process of dental implant fixing involves several steps:

1.Consultation: During the initial consultation, the dentist will evaluate the patient’s oral health and determine if they are a good candidate for dental implants. This may include taking X-rays or CT scans of the mouth to assess the bone density and structure.

2.Implant placement: Once the patient is cleared for dental implants, the dentist will schedule a surgical procedure to place the titanium implant into the jawbone. This involves making a small incision in the gum tissue and drilling a hole into the jawbone where the implant will be placed.

3.Healing period: After the implant is placed, the patient will need to wait several months for the implant to fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, a temporary crown may be placed over the implant to help protect it.

4.Abutment placement: Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, the dentist will attach an abutment to the implant. This is a small connector piece that will support the artificial tooth or dental bridge.

5.Crown placement: Finally, the dentist will attach the artificial tooth or dental bridge to the abutment. The new tooth or teeth will be custom-designed to match the color and shape of the patient’s natural teeth.

Dental implant fixing is a highly effective and long-lasting solution for missing or damaged teeth. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years and provide patients with a natural-looking and functional smile.
