At Sampaio Dental in Cape Coral, FL, we guide each patient through a smooth and personalized experience. Schedule your consultation today to take the first step toward your new smile.
From Consultation To Final Restoration
Your implant journey begins with a one-on-one consultation to talk through your goals and examine your current oral health. Digital imaging helps your provider create a clear treatment plan, and if any pre-treatments are needed, they’ll walk you through it all. Everything is tailored to fit your needs and comfort.
- Personalized evaluation: Includes digital scans, a full exam, and health history.
- Clear treatment planning: Covers the timeline, implant type, and restoration goals.
- Supportive steps if needed: Bone grafting or periodontal care may be completed first.
What To Expect During Implant Surgery
Once you’re ready, implant surgery takes place in a relaxed setting with comfort always top of mind. The implant post is gently placed into the jaw where it will act as the new root for your replacement tooth, using biocompatible materials that support long-term success. The procedure is often completed in a single visit.
- Relaxing environment: Sedation options help you feel calm and stress-free throughout.
- Skilled placement: The implant is positioned precisely to ensure stability and long-term function.
- Healing support: A temporary cap protects the area and encourages proper gum healing.
Healing Time & Osseointegration
After surgery, the implant and jawbone need time to heal and fuse in a process called osseointegration. This stage is essential for building a strong, lasting foundation for your new tooth. Most patients complete this phase in a few months.
- Natural fusion: Bone and implant gradually bond to form a solid base.
- Average recovery: Most people heal within three to six months.
- Progress checks: Routine follow-ups ensure everything is healing well.
Steps To Creating Your Custom Restoration
When healing is complete, we’ll begin designing the final part of your implant: your restoration. Using digital impressions, we craft a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration that blends in beautifully with the rest of your smile. Everything is customized for your bite, comfort, and appearance.
- Precision scanning: Digital impressions capture the exact fit you need.
- Tailored design: The shape, shade, and fit are all personalized for you.
- Confident fit: The final piece is attached and adjusted to complete your smile.
How Technology Improves The Implant Process
Technology plays a key role in making the implant process more precise, comfortable, and efficient. 3D imaging and guided planning help us place implants with greater accuracy and reduce recovery time. These tools also help you understand your treatment every step of the way.
- Detailed diagnostics: 3D scans reveal bone structure and placement points.
- Guided surgery tools: Boost accuracy and shorten the procedure time.
- Innovative materials: Deliver long-lasting results with a natural look.
