that the site looks solid? I had dental inplamts and bone grafting done on teeth 7/8 on Wednesday, Jan. 10. Both teeth were pulled at the same time. On March 14, I had them checked, no X-rays done by the Periodontist who did the work. He said it looked solid. What does that mean? How can they know if the inplamts are going ok just by looking at the site? Also, he said I could schedule my impressions for two weeks from now. Is that too soon for front teeth? I feel as if they are still healing. Will my restorative dentist know if it’s too soon for impressions? How long does the front teeth normally take and what about upper back teeth? I also just had a cleaning done on Tuesday and the dental hygeniest cleaned my inplamts too. I didn’t feel pain or discomfort when she did. If these go well, I may want to replace a few in the back too someday. What are the risks on the back top teeth as opposed to the the front top teeth? How soon for back teeth to heal if fronts only needed two months? THANKS.
The best thing would be for you to bring up these concerns with your periodontist or dentist. We are only getting a snapshot of your surgical process, as there are many other data point that are need to draw any conclusions here. Without any clinical data i.e. physical exam, xray, photos… its hard to draw any conclusions on your concerns. With that said please keep in mind that we are making general comments on implants. However, you are correct to say that typically xrays show bone/implants but we can also tell whats going on underneath the gingiva based on clinical examination. To confirm the osseointegration of the implants we torque test all of our implants in two ways: torque wrench and Osstell. There is no difference between front and back teeth when it comes to the osseintegration times. There are differences between the upper and lower jaw and its all based on density of the bone. Lastly, the initial torque of the implant also makes a difference. The tighter the implant when it goes in, the more likely it will osseointegrate and the sooner it can be loaded. I wish your question/concern was that straight forward but it is not without getting the full picture. Again, I would recommend talking to your doctor about your concerns, as they have other information on your case.
Itis an awesome post in favor of all the web people; they will get benefit from it I am sure.
