Dental Implants - Preparation

During the first session, you will be checked to see whether you satisfy the requirements for implants before any actual treatment begins. This is accomplished through a preliminary examination in which x-rays of your dental structure are prepared. Your teeth must not exhibit inflammation of any kind. It is very important that the potential implant-receiving region not be afflicted with caries. Additionally, the bone material in both the upper and lower jaws must be sufficiently dense. Your plan must also encompass any potential treatments that would be preconditions to implantation such as inflammation therapy or bone structure development (augmentation).

Upon conclusion of these preparatory measures, you will work out your individual treatment plan together with your dentist. The various possibilities will be presented to you and eventually your treatment plan will be created; specifically, the number, material, form, and size of the implant(s) will be determined. Subsequently, a boring template will be prepared in the dental laboratory. This will enable precise positioning of the implant(s) during installation.⁵
