How Can I Regain My Teeth?

The answer is pretty simple, Dental Implant.

The tooth should be removed, taking care to preserve as much of the buccal plate and surrounding bone. After using a very fine diamond bur to trace around the root, periotomes can be situated between the root and the bone to aid atraumatic removal. To simplify the eventual placement of the implant, it’s important to preserve the bone of the extraction site by grafting the socket. First, any granulation material should be carefully removed from the socket with a surgical curette. The grafting material helps maintain the bone volume that is essential to a simple, predictable implant placement procedure and an esthetic, functional outcome. It takes approximately four months for the extraction site to heal and the graft to mature. 


After the socket site has healed, the patient returns for placement of the implant. The buccal plate should be intact and the site will have adequate ridge height and width. The site can be evaluated intraorally and radiographically to verify sufficient bone volume for implantation. If adequate primary stability has been achieved and this will typically be the case when the steps above have been followed a healing abutment, rather than a cover screw, can be delivered at the time of implant placement. Placing a healing abutment also benefits the patient by avoiding the need for a second surgical procedure to uncover the cover screw. 


Approximately three months after implant placement, the patient returns for the final impression, and the healing abutment is removed. This will reveal a healthy and esthetic soft-tissue collar around the implant site, which has been guided by the healing abutment since implant placement. Screw-retained crowns are esthetic, predictable, easy to deliver and an excellent choice for single tooth implant cases. A crown that attaches directly to the implant also avoids the task of cementing the restoration over an abutment and provides ease in retrievability.
