• A detailed examination is conducted to determine if there are any underlying dental issues – this process includes taking digital 3D images and X-ray scans.

• This consultation session also helps us determine if a sinus lift, bone grafting or tooth extraction is required.

• If any anomalies render you unsuitable for dental implants, our dentists will work closely with you to explore other dental aesthetic options to achieve your desired results.

• A sinus lift may be required to better support dental implants by lifting the sinus membrane and packing bone powder into the area.
• A bone graft is done by inserting a bone into the gumline.
• Tooth extraction may be required for any tooth or multiple teeth that are damaged beyond repair to ensure overall oral health.
• Full recovery of any or all of the above procedures must be ensured before your dentist can proceed to place the implants

We combine the 3D Intraoral model, 3D cone-beam CT x-ray, plan the position of your implant and subsequently create a 3D Printed Surgical Implant Guide that will ensure that the implant is placed according to what was planned.

• A cut is made to open your gum and expose the bone where the dental implant will be placed.
• Holes will be drilled deep into the bone and a metal pole placed into it. This serves as the tooth root.

• The crown is then attached to the implant via an attachment to screw it securely into place.
• Installing the crown may be delayed for 2 to 3 months depending on the severity of the case or discussed treatment plan with your dentist.

• An in-person review will follow 2 weeks after the procedure to check on the implant(s) and remove any stitches.
• If the crown was not placed immediately after implant, an appointment will be scheduled for you in 2 to 3 months.

1. Critical Anatomical Structures – Nerves, sinus cavities, arteries and other important structures should be avoided.
2. Quality and Quantity of Bone – The implant should be surrounded by healthy, adequate bone.
3. Quality and Quantity of Gum – The implant should have sufficient healthy gums that are resilient enough to withstand damage.
4. Implant in relation to the future implant crown – The implant must be placed in a position that is easy to clean while looking aesthetic and natural.
