Appointments description

Below is a step-by-step outline of the treatment process presented in chronological order. This outline provides a structured overview of each stage and its sequence, ensuring a clear understanding of the procedure from start to finish. By following this chronological guide, patients can have a comprehensive understanding of the treatment journey, enabling them to make informed decisions and maintain confidence throughout the process.

Pre-Treatment Virtual Consultation
During this appointment, it is required to have your Tomography to help determine the viability of the treatment by our Specialist. If you don't have it, the appointment will be rescheduled until you obtain your Tomography. Alternatively, our dental center can also offer this service upon your arrival in the city.

Appointment 1:
General Assessment with Specialist
During the initial appointment, our Specialist will conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient's oral health. In the absence of a previous Tomography, our Dentist will issue an order to have the study conducted. Subsequently, the need for a dental implant will be validated, or viable alternatives will be presented according to the patient's oral health needs.

Appointment 2:
Impression for Implant Guide
Once the decision is made to proceed with a dental implant, an impression will be taken to fabricate a surgical guide that will assist the dentist during the implant placement procedure.

Appointment 3:
Implant Placement
The dental implant(s) will be surgically placed in the jaw or maxilla by our qualified specialist. The implant(s) will serve as a foundation for the subsequent placement of a crown or fixed prosthesis.

6-Month Healing Period
Typically, a healing period of approximately 6 months is required to allow the dental implant to integrate and adhere to the jaw or maxilla.

Appointment 4:
Healing Cap Placement
After the healing period, a healing cap will be placed on the dental implant to promote proper healing of the gum tissue and prepare it for the final crown placement.

Appointment 5:
Abutment Placement
An abutment or pillar is placed on the dental implant, which will serve as support for the crown. An impression is also taken to design a custom zirconia crown that matches the patient's natural teeth in shape, size, and color. The impression will be sent to our laboratory for the fabrication of the zirconia crown, which may take approximately 1 day.

Appointment 6:
Crown Placement
Once the crown is fabricated, it will be placed on the abutment, its fit and occlusion will be checked, and it will be finally cemented.

Appointment 7:
Post-Treatment Follow-up
After the crown placement, a follow-up period of approximately 2 days is recommended to ensure the proper functioning of the crown.

To ensure a smooth and successful procedure, it is highly advised to adhere to the comprehensive appointment plan outlined above. By closely following the detailed schedule, patients can optimize their treatment experience and achieve the desired outcomes. It is of utmost importance for the patient to carefully follow the dentist's instructions, as they play a crucial role in the success of the procedure. Additionally, diligently complying with the scheduled breaks and necessary adjustments allows for optimal comfort and satisfaction. By prioritizing adherence to the appointment plan, patients can maximize the effectiveness of their treatment and attain the best possible results.
