Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth—providing a permanent, natural-looking solution that preserves jawbone health and restores full chewing function. At Dr. Beqiraj’s periodontal practice, we use the latest technology and techniques to place implants with precision and care.
Our Implant Placement Process
-
Comprehensive Evaluation & Planning
– Customized treatment plan, including number and placement of implants -
Comfort-Focused Surgery
– Minimally invasive flap or flapless approach depending on anatomy -
Precise Implant Insertion
– Gentle placement of the titanium fixture into the bone
– Cover cap or healing abutment attached to guide soft-tissue healing -
Osseointegration & Temporary Restoration
– 3–6 month healing period for the implant to fuse with bone
– Temporary crown or bridge provided for aesthetics and function -
Final Restoration
– Final adjustments ensure perfect bite alignment and appearance
Definition: A small titanium post surgically anchored into the jawbone to serve as a stable “root” for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Why Titanium?: Biocompatible material that fuses (osseointegrates) with bone for lifelong stability.
Adults in good overall health
Sufficient jawbone volume (or willingness to undergo bone grafting)
Free of uncontrolled gum disease or serious medical conditions
Non-smokers (or willing to quit during healing) for optimal success
Feels, looks, and functions like natural teeth
Prevents bone loss and facial collapse
No need to alter adjacent healthy teeth
Durable: 95–98% success rate over 10+ years
– Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort managed with cold packs and prescription or OTC pain relief
– Soft diet (soups, smoothies, scrambled eggs)
– Gradual return to normal diet as healing allows
– Maintain excellent oral hygiene; gentle cleaning around the implant site
– Regular dental cleanings and check-ups every 3–6 months
– Avoid hard or sticky foods that could stress the restoration
