THE METHODS OF IMPLANT PLACEMENT

After extraction, some patients can undergo immediate implant placement with no complications.
Immediate implant placement after teeth removal: is very limited in application and must follow strict requirements including sufficient amount of bone to support the implant, gums are healthy and not infected.
Two factors must be considered before you are deemed a candidate for immediate implant placement after extraction: Infection and Bone density.

After extraction about 10 days and 2 weeks
The extraction site should of inflammation, gum disease, or other infection. Any of these conditions are present, they will need to be treated before implant can be placed about 1 – 2 weeks.

After extraction about 2 – 6 months
Is applied when teeth is infected which requires bone grafting or the patient has thin layers of gum tissues.
Is applied when there is severe infection causing major bone deterioration or the root is too large, leaving an insufficient amount of bone after tooth removal.

The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. Sinus augmentation can help correct this problem by raising the sinus floor and developing bone for the placement of dental implants. Upper back teeth are among the most difficult to restore. When the back teeth in the upper jaw are missing the sinus cavity becomes larger as the natural bone deteriorates over time.
Bone grafting is a safe and highly successful procedure that involves “building up” or adding bone to the jaw by using your own natural bone from another location and/or by using donor, processed, or synthetic bone materials. Bone grafts are often performed in the implant dentist’s office using local anesthesia to numb the areas that will be involved. After the procedure, you will usually be given antibiotics, pain medication if needed, and an anti bacterial mouthwash. Avoid eating certain foods and putting pressure on the bone graft. Your implants will be placed after the grafted bone has fused or become a strong, integrated part of the existing bone. The integration may take three or more months, depending on the location of the graft and the density of the bone.

Sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation or sinus elevation, is a bone-augmentation procedure for patients who have insufficient natural bone in this area for dental implant placement. The procedure involves adding bone below the sinus so that one or more implants can be placed. The procedure does not affect speech, intonation, or cause sinus problems. After the bone has been given time to develop, usually for approximately four to 12 months, dental implants can be placed.
