Additionally, this will allow your dentist to gauge the proper positioning of your implant. These scans are quick and painless and done in the same way that you\u2019d get an X-ray at the dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<p><div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"Dental Clinic with in-house Dental X-Ray | CBCT Scan &amp; OPG | Advanced Dental Laboratory\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qjffXcPyJzM?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CT scan is a bit more involved, but you\u2019ll be under general anesthesia so you won\u2019t even know it\u2019s happening. Implant surgery requires that your dentist goes through the bone to place the implant. These scans will allow your dentist to get a better idea of the condition of your jawbone, helping to reduce the risk of complications during surgery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dental-implant-procedure\">Dental implant procedure<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dental<a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/tips-for-looking-after-your-dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> implant<\/a> procedure can vary greatly depending on the type of implant you\u2019re receiving, the state of your jawbone, and the condition of your teeth.

It\u2019s typically only performed on people who have weak or damaged jawbones. This process creates a new space in the jawbone where the implant will be placed by removing a portion of your gums and jawbone. After this procedure, you\u2019ll likely wear a splint for a few weeks to protect your gums and allow the bone to regenerate. After this regeneration period has passed, your dentist will place the implant in the new space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8272\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PHOTO-2021-10-27-15-35-08-900x900.jpg\" alt=\"Dental-Implant-Steps\" width=\"331\" height=\"331\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption>Dental Implant Steps<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-implant-placement-and-fixation\">Implant placement and fixation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After your bone has fused with the implant, your dentist will likely place a temporary restoration on the implant. This temporary restoration holds your teeth apart and functions like a bridge. After a few months, your gums will have healed, and you can have a more permanent restoration placed on the implant. This restoration can be a bridge, partial denture, or a full denture depending on the circumstances of your case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<p><div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"How Long Does a Dental Implant Take? | Same-Day Implants Explained | Dr Chirag Chamria |Royal Dental\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oxymT9nlgMs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process of receiving dental implants is a long one. You\u2019ll need to be patient and consistent with your oral hygiene routine throughout the process. Your dentist will likely recommend frequent appointments to monitor your progress until the implant has fused with the bone. Once this has happened, you can return to your normal dental routine. Once you\u2019ve received your dental implants, you can rest assured that they\u2019ll last a lifetime. With proper oral hygiene, you can expect your implants to last anywhere between 5-20 years. This makes dental implants the ideal solution for people who have lost teeth and are looking for a more permanent replacement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-map qubely-block-099e01\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Royal%20Dental%20Clinic%20%7C%20Same%20Day%20Dental%20Implant%20%26%20Cosmetic%20Treatment%2C%20Kandivali%20Thakur%20Complex%2C%20V%20Mall%2C%20Western%20Express%20Hwy%2C%20Kandivali%20East%2C%20Mumbai%2C%20Maharashtra%20400101&amp;t=&amp;z=16&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;iwloc=&amp;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350px\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Suggested Article \u2013<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/pros-and-cons-of-full-mouth-dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pros and Cons of Full Mouth Dental Implants<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/difference-between-crowns-and-dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Difference between Crowns and Dental Implants?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/who-is-the-best-dental-implant-specialist-in-delhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Who is the Best Dental Implant specialist<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When thinking about dental implants, most people have a set idea of what the process will look like.
