"Dr. Hlas and Dr. Shirazi, what is the
dental implant process like at Altoona Dental Clinic?"
At
Altoona Dental Clinic we begin with a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical
and dental history, and a full clinical examination of the entire mouth
and missing tooth area. The clinical exam should also include specific
X-rays.
After assessing the patient, a comprehensive treatment plan can be
devised. From that point, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone
under local anesthesia.
The length of the healing time is based on the quality and quantity of
bone, as well as the type of implant placed. After adequate healing is
allowed to occur, the implant can be used to support a crown, bridge, or
denture.
