At the consultation your clinician will assess the health of your gums, the density of your bone and in some cases, you may require a CT Scan. The CT scan provides a 3D image of all regions of the upper and\/or lower jaw from which precise measurements can be taken for pre-operative treatment planning. In some cases the CT scan may also be used to evaluate the results of bone grafting procedures prior to placing implants.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-52  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_9'  class='avia-section main_color avia-section-small avia-no-shadow  avia-bg-style-scroll  avia-builder-el-53  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section   container_wrap sidebar_right' style=' '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-3542'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-54  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_three_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-55  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><div  style='padding-bottom:5px; margin-top: 20px;color:#1d1d1b;font-size:42px;' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-56  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  av-inherit-size '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Can I have an implant placed straight away?<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' style='border-color:#1d1d1b'><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  av_inherit_color '  style='font-size:18px; color:#1d1d1b; '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sometimes treatment is required before you are ready for implants.

Initially there is a planning stage, then some time may be spent on preparatory procedures such as improving gum health, removing any unsavable teeth and growing bone. After the implants are placed they are left to settle in place from three to six months. The final fitting of crowns or bridges or the attaching of dentures to the implants takes a month or two.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The time depends on your individual situation. It is important that neither the patient nor the implant provider attempt to rush the treatment or try to advance the various stages faster than the time required for complete healing and maturation of the bone and soft-tissues.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-64  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_11'  class='avia-section main_color avia-section-small avia-no-shadow  avia-bg-style-scroll  avia-builder-el-65  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section   container_wrap sidebar_right' style=' '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-3542'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-66  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_three_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-67  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><div  style='padding-bottom:5px; margin-top: 20px;color:#1d1d1b;font-size:42px;' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-68  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  av-inherit-size '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Are the teeth difficult to clean?<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' style='border-color:#1d1d1b'><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  av_inherit_color '  style='font-size:18px; color:#1d1d1b; '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Cleaning around the teeth attached to the dental implants is no more difficult than cleaning natural teeth.
