One Stage Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implant surgery is a sophisticated affair and only a dentist who is well- versed in dentistry can carry out this surgical operation. Although, some may lose out on more teeth, it is possible that a patient may require only a single tooth to be replaced or perhaps more. Then naturally, only one crown needs to be fixed. The effort on the part of the dentist is to ensure that the single tooth is replaced is as natural as the other teeth. The same applies to dental implants which consists of more than one tooth.


As we grow older we lose teeth and also sometimes even younger people can lose teeth. The best way out is to get dental implants fixed. Facilities are available for single tooth dental implants as well as multiple dental implants. Procedures are different. The dentist can make use of one-stage dental implant procedure as well as 2 stage dental implant procedure.

Procedure of one – stage dental implant surgery
In the case of one-stage dental implant surgery, the dental implant is placed in one’s jaw bone in such a manner that the top of one’s implant is rather higher then the actual surface of one’s bone and is at the height of one’s soft tissue. Once the dentist stitches the soft tissues at the end-point of the surgery, then the head of the dental implant is exposed. Therefore, the second stage surgery is not required as the head of the dental implant is well exposed. This implies that second surgery is not essential as the implant is well exposed and fits in naturally.

What are the feature of one-stage dental implant surgery
  • Quick start of osseointegration
  • One need not wait for the bone to heal before the implant is placed
  • The tooth will look natural while one is placing the implant
  • One does not have any missing teeth in one’s mouth
Why one stage dental implant surgery
  • It is proved to be effective
  • It is successful once the implant is placed properly
  • Less surgery involved
  • Recovery time is much less
  • Maximum surface area
  • Dental implants secure on a long-term basis
  • Immediate loading
Many dentists resort to one-stage dental implant surgery as they find it rather convenient and effective.
