1 Typical Dental Implant Treatment Plan

Typical Dental Implant Treatment Plan

A dental implant treatment plan is drawn by the dentist in consultation with you and defines both the number of implants that will be placed as well as the number of crowns to cover them. It also proposes the schedule of visits and any other work that may be required such as sinus lifts or extra bone thickening.

It is necessarily the case that you will have the same number of crowns as implants as it is often better to cover a large gap with a "bridge" rather than a number of separate crowns. By using crowns it is possible to reduce the number of implants placed without effecting the reliability or robustness of the bridge.

Some patients have very thin bone which requires that new bone is grown before implants can be placed. This will effect the treatment plan.

It is not possible to guarantee a treatment plan before the dentist has actually seen the patient even if the dentist has reviewed an XRay before the patient's arrival.
