Dental Implants: How Are Dental Implants Placed?
One-stage implant treatment involves placing implants instead of natural teeth immediately after extraction. The artificial tooth root is implanted into the tooth socket after its extraction.
The one-stage implant gives patients a significant advantage. After tooth extraction, the patient immediately or shortly afterward gets a temporary crown fixed to the implant and a permanent crown two to four months later. With immediate implant treatment, you can smile brightly again soon.
An experienced dental surgeon usually performs one-stage implant placement. Like any type of dental implantation, it requires years of practice and knowledge of certain types and the ideal way to handle them.
Tooth extraction and immediate implant placement are typically done in one appointment. For this purpose, the patient is given local anaesthesia or intravenous sedation if necessary; then, the tooth is extracted as carefully as possible.
