Regarding dental implants, friends who have done it please briefly describe the process.

1. examination and design: the doctor inquired about the patient's medical history in detail, made necessary general and oral examinations, and took X-rays to understand the bone and bone mass of the planned implant site, so as to determine whether the patient is suitable for implant treatment and provide the best treatment plan for the patient according to the patient's requirements.

2. Implantation: Implant the implant into the gingival bone under local anesthesia, sew it tightly, and remove the suture in 7- 10 days.

3. Bone healing period: The length of bone healing period depends on the bone condition and implant site of the patient's implant bed. In the visible area of maxilla, if the bone is in good condition, temporary crown can be used immediately after implant implantation to solve the aesthetic and pronunciation problems of patients as soon as possible. Some patients with complete tooth loss can also wear implant-supported overdentures 24 ~ 48 hours after implant implantation. Some patients only need 2 ~ 3 months of bone healing. However, in patients with poor bone condition and even needing bone filling technology, bone healing takes 3 ~ 6 months or even 9 months.

4. Connecting the bone healing abutment: When the implant is completely combined with the jaw, connect a healing abutment to the implant, so that the soft tissue cuff can be formed within two to three weeks.

5. Complete restoration: When the soft tissue cuff is formed, the doctor replaces the healed abutment with a permanent abutment, takes an impression, and designs the restored tooth. Once the crown or bridge is completed, you can wear the teeth supported by the implant.
