The start of treatment begins with the consultation with the dentist who, using medical imaging, will confirm the treatment plan. The consultation also aims to check the compatibility with your state of health and the medical form that you have previously completed.
The surgical phase of treatment with basal implants begins with the extraction of damaged teeth. Basal dental implants are placed immediately after extraction. This is called immediate implantology. The operation is performed painlessly because it is sedated. It is a kind of general anesthesia but less strong and can be administered in the dental clinic.
The basal dental implant, which has an elliptical shape, will self-implant with minimal trauma. As the borehole is only one mm in diameter, the operation is minimally invasive. This is the reason why it is not necessary to wait for healing.
To avoid retraction of the gum tissue and a space being created with the bridge, a gingival plastic surgery is performed. Treatment of the gum tissue can speed up the healing process through sutures. The healing of the gum and bone (osteo regeneration) reaches 90% after placement of the basal implant. The gingiva will be perfectly clear from any infections or periodontal pockets before the prosthesis is fixed.
The duration of the operation varies between 3 and 4 hours depending on the complexity of the operation and the number of basal implants to be placed.
