Teeth Implant Treatment - A Team Effort  

 

Teeth implant treatment combines the best of modern science and technology, including a team approach that spans several disciplines. To ensure a successful outcome, it is important that all parties follow a carefully prepared plan of treatment. This includes the patient, the radiologist, the ceramist, the implant dentist and the dentist. All members of the dental implant team for a particular case are required to stay in close contact with each other, to ensure that they clearly understand what is required of them.

 

The team for a particular case begins to form as soon as the patient visits a dental clinic, to learn if teeth implants are right for them. First, a implant dentist is appointed for conducting a thorough assessment of the patient, and advising them about their suitability. During this consultation process, the implant dentist may be assisted by a radiologist, who will take x-rays and CT scans of the patient's mouth. These radiographs help in determining if a patient possesses enough quality and quantity of jawbone, for teeth implants to be safely fitted.

 

After a patient makes a decision regarding proceeding with dental implant treatment, a team will be organised for performing the surgical procedure. This team usually includes a implant dentist, as well as medical assistants and nurses. In most cases, teeth implant treatment can be performed under local anaesthesia. However, in cases where conscious sedation or general anaesthesia has been advised, the skills of a certified anaesthetist will also be required.

 

When it is determined that the bone has satisfactorily healed around the dental implants, a dentist will take an impression of the patient's upper and lower jaws. This impression is used to create a model from which the prosthetic teeth will be fabricated.

 

After the teeth implant and crown have been fitted in the patient's mouth, the patient needs to follow the given aftercare instructions properly, and visit their dentist regularly for follow-up examinations.
