Stage 1: Diagnosis and Planning
The key to success is precise diagnostics. At Mikrostomart, we always start with a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This allows us to assess the quantity and quality of bone in three dimensions. We plan the implant position with accuracy to a fraction of a millimeter.
Stage 2: Surgical Procedure
The implant placement procedure itself is completely painless, performed under local anesthesia (the same as used for cavity treatment). The procedure typically lasts from 20 to 40 minutes.
The patient receives post-operative instructions, antibiotics, and pain relievers.
Stage 3: Osseointegration
This is the healing period. It usually takes:
During this time, bone cells "grow" around the implant, permanently stabilizing it.
Stage 4: Exposure and Prosthetics
After healing, the implant is exposed and a healing abutment is placed on it, shaping the gum. After approximately 2 weeks, an impression (or digital scan) is taken and the laboratory creates the final ceramic crown.
The patient leaves with a new, beautiful tooth.
