Implantation surgery is a procedure that involves placing an artificial tooth root into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. This procedure can help patients who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or periodontal disease.
Reasons to choose dental implant service at Champion Dental Clinic
There are several situations where choosing implant service at Champion Dental Clinic may be the best option for you. Here are some common scenarios:
- Missing Teeth: If you have one or more missing teeth, dental implants can be a great way to restore your smile and improve your oral health.
- Damaged or Decayed Teeth: If you have teeth that are severely damaged or decayed, implants may be a better option than traditional dental crowns or bridges.
- Loose or Ill-Fitting Dentures: If you wear dentures that are loose or ill-fitting, dental implants can provide a more stable and comfortable solution.
- Jawbone Loss: If you have experienced jawbone loss due to gum disease or other factors, implants can be used to replace missing teeth and restore your jawbone structure.
- Improved Speech and Chewing Ability: Dental implants can improve your ability to speak clearly and chew food properly, which can improve your overall quality of life.
- Long-Term Solution: Implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth, as they are designed to be durable and last for many years with proper care.
If you are experiencing any of the above situations, or if you have questions about whether dental implants are right for you, we recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our experienced dentists at Champion Dental Clinic. Our team will work with you to determine the best course of treatment to restore your smile and improve your oral health.
The procedure for implantation
The procedure for implantation at Champion Dental Clinic typically involves several steps, which may vary depending on your specific dental needs. Here is a general overview of the implantation process:
- Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation, one of our experienced dentists will examine your mouth and teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your dental history and goals. This will help us determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.
- Implant Placement: If you are a good candidate for implants, the first step of the procedure involves placing the implant post into the jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia, and you may also receive sedation to help you relax during the procedure. Once the implant is placed, a protective cover screw is placed over the implant to allow the area to heal.
- Healing Period: After implant placement, there is a healing period of 3-6 months, during which time the implant will fuse with the surrounding jawbone tissue in a process called osseointegration.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is placed on top of the implant. This serves as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth or bridge.
- Replacement Tooth Placement: Finally, a custom-made replacement tooth or bridge is placed on top of the abutment to complete the procedure. Our dentists take great care to ensure that the replacement tooth or bridge matches your natural teeth in size, shape, and color, so that it looks and feels like a natural part of your smile.
Throughout the implantation procedure, our team at Champion Dental Clinic will use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure your comfort and safety. We will also provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new implant to ensure its long-term success.
Before undergoing dental implant surgery
Before undergoing dental implant surgery at Champion Dental Clinic, there are several things that patients should do to prepare for the procedure. Here are some important steps to take:
- Schedule a Consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced dentists. During this appointment, we will discuss your dental history and goals, evaluate your oral health, and determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.
- Discuss Medications: If you are taking any medications or supplements, it's important to discuss them with our dental team. Certain medications, such as blood thinners, may need to be adjusted prior to surgery.
- Quit Smoking: Smoking can increase the risk of complications during and after implant surgery. We recommend quitting smoking at least two weeks prior to the procedure to improve your chances of a successful outcome.
- Plan for Recovery: After implant surgery, you may need to take a few days off from work or other activities to allow for proper healing. It's important to plan ahead and arrange for any necessary time off.
- Arrange Transportation: You will be given anesthesia for the procedure, which means that you will not be able to drive yourself home afterward. Arrange for a trusted friend or family member to provide transportation.
- Follow Pre-Op Instructions: Our dental team will provide you with detailed instructions to follow before the procedure, such as avoiding food and drink for a certain amount of time before the surgery.
By taking these steps before dental implant surgery, patients can help ensure a successful and comfortable experience at Champion Dental Clinic. Our team will also be available to answer any questions or concerns that you may have prior to the procedure.
Proper care after dental implant surgery
Proper care after dental implant surgery is essential to ensure the success and longevity of your new implant. At Champion Dental Clinic, our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your implant after surgery. Here are some general tips on how to take care of your implant:
- Avoid Hard or Crunchy Foods: For the first few days after surgery, you should stick to soft foods that are easy to chew. Avoid hard or crunchy foods that could irritate the surgical site or damage the implant.
- Brush and Floss Regularly: Proper oral hygiene is essential for the long-term success of your implant. Brush and floss your teeth regularly, and be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid irritating the surgical site.
- Use Antibacterial Mouthwash: Our dental team may recommend using an antibacterial mouthwash to help reduce the risk of infection. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and use the mouthwash as directed.
- Take Pain Medication as Needed: You may experience some discomfort or pain after the surgery. Our dental team will provide you with instructions on how to manage your pain, and may prescribe medication if needed.
- Attend Follow-Up Appointments: It's important to attend all follow-up appointments with our dental team to ensure that your implant is healing properly. During these appointments, we will check the surgical site and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible outcome.
By following these tips and the specific instructions provided by our dental team at Champion Dental Clinic, you can help ensure the success of your new dental implant. Remember to always contact us with any questions or concerns you may have during the healing process.

Who can get implantation
In general, most people who have good oral health and sufficient bone density in their jaw are good candidates for dental implant surgery at Champion Dental Clinic. However, every patient's situation is unique, and our dental team will evaluate your individual case to determine whether implants are the best treatment option for you.
Here are some general factors that may make you a good candidate for dental implants:
- Good Oral Health: You should have good oral health, with no active gum disease or tooth decay, and a commitment to maintaining good oral hygiene.
- Sufficient Jawbone Density: Dental implants require a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw to anchor the implant. If you have lost bone density due to tooth loss or other factors, you may need a bone graft before implant surgery.
- No Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or immune system disorders, may increase the risk of complications from dental implant surgery. Our dental team will evaluate your medical history and discuss any potential risks with you.
- Non-Smoker: Smoking can increase the risk of complications and reduce the success rate of dental implant surgery. If you smoke, you may need to quit before undergoing implant surgery.
- Commitment to Aftercare: Proper aftercare is essential to the success of dental implants. You should be committed to following our dental team's instructions for care and attending all follow-up appointments.
Our dental team at Champion Dental Clinic will work closely with you to determine whether dental implant surgery is the best treatment option for your individual needs.
