The surgical process for the restoration of a lost tooth, with Dental Implants, depends on the type of treatment. It is different depending on what each patient needs.

The surgical process has defined stages. However, these stages may have additional steps when the case is more complex. Dental Implant surgery can be performed in 1 phase or 2 phases (or quotes). This will depend on:

• If the damaged tooth has already been removed previously, or if it must be removed before starting the implant process.
• 
  
• If the bone in which the Dental Implant will be inserted is in good condition, or if the bone should be grafted or adapted before placing the implant.
• 
  
• The number of Dental Implants to be placed.
• 
  

Dental Implants in 1 Phase

The surgical process can be performed in 1 Phase if the bone has the adequate quality to insert the Dental Implant. In this way, the implant and the provisional or definitive Crown or Prosthesis are inserted in a single session, fulfilling the following steps:

• Gum incision: in the area where the Dental Implant will be placed.
• Opening of the space in the bone: with special drills, to give the space required by the Dental Implant.
• Insertion of the Dental Implant: in the open space with strawberries.
• Abutment placement: abutment or element that joins the Prosthesis or Crown to the Dental Implant.
• Placement of the Dental Prosthesis: or visible and aesthetic part of the tooth.
• 
  

To perform the surgery, it is generally used Local anesthesia or conscious sedation given by an anesthesiologist in the office.

Dental Implants in 2 Phases

In the first Phase the Dental Implant is inserted. After this, you must wait between 3 and 4 months, until the osseointegration process (intimate union between implant and bone) is finished. 

In the second Phase, the implant is discovered, to install the abutment or abutment that joins the Implant with the Crown or Dental Prosthesis.
