Dental Implant Surgery Belleview
For Dental implant surgery in Belleview Florida, look no further than the professionals at Ocala Dental Care. Dental implant surgery is completed as an outpatient procedure, during which we will place one or more small titanium posts into the jawbone to serve as artificial roots for missing teeth. At Ocala Dental Care in Ocala, FL, Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr Marco Geris specialize in implant surgery, and can ensure that your procedure is conducted with the utmost care and quality. After taking impressions of your teeth, our doctors will be able to create your new dental implants with unparalleled accuracy and precision.
Do dental implants require special care?
Implants require the same dental care as your natural teeth. This includes regular flossing and scheduled trips to the dentist just as you would for your natural teeth.
Preparatory Procedures
It is not uncommon for patients to need prerequisite procedures before receiving dental implants. Our team can examine your health to determine if it is possible to combine procedures to shorten your treatment timeline.
Bone Grafting
A bone graft may be necessary to increase the bone density in preparation for implants. In some cases, a graft can be placed at the same time as your implant surgery. Our doctors will discuss all your options and determine the best method for your case.
Tooth Extractions
To prevent bone loss from occurring, you can plan a gentle tooth extraction as close to your implant placement as possible. In some cases, bone graft material can be placed at the same time as the extraction. For other patients, we may be able to place your implants at the same time as well.
Surgery Treatment Process
Prior to your surgery, you will have an in-depth consultation to plan your procedure. This appointment will allow us to determine the condition of your underlying jawbone, and take scans to design a highly accurate procedure. This detailed planning allows Dr. Salifu to place implants in the most stable areas of your jaw. Once the planning guides are complete, we can begin your surgery.
- Anesthesia: The day you arrive for your surgery, you will be escorted to a comfortable treatment room where our team will prepare for the procedure. Local anesthesia will be administered to numb your teeth and gums so you are comfortable during your treatment. We can also provide further sedation to ensure your comfort.
- Incisions: Once you are comfortable, Dr. Salifu will make a small opening in the gums to access the jawbone.
- Site Preparation: To prepare the bone for a dental implant, your doctor will gently create space in the jaw for your implant. This process ensures the implant post will be in the precise locations we have chosen and lowers risks of damage to the surrounding tissues.
- Implant Placement: When the site has been prepared, the dental implant will be strategically placed into the jawbone.
- Stitches: Once the implant has been placed, the surgical site will be closed using stitches.
- Restoration: For traditional treatment, we will provide a temporary restoration for you to wear until you have fully healed.
Your surgery should take one to two hours depending on the number of implants you are receiving.
Your Recovery Timeline
After your procedure is complete, you can return home. You should have someone drive you because the effects of any sedatives or pain medications can last for several hours. Initial healing following implant surgery typically lasts less than one week. While you will return to your normal routines in a matter of days, your bone will continue to heal for several months. During this second procedure, we will attach abutment pieces that will connect your restoration to your implant posts. Typically, two weeks after this procedure, you can receive your permanent restoration.
