What Are Conventional Dental Implants? A Complete Guide

 Missing teeth can affect your confidence, chewing ability, and overall oral health. Conventional dental implants are one of the most trusted and long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. Designed to function like natural teeth, they restore both aesthetics and functionality with predictable, long-term results.


What Is a Conventional Dental Implant?


What Is a Conventional Dental Implant?

A conventional dental implant consists of two primary components:

  • Implant (Root Component): A titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone.

  • Abutment & Crown (Tooth Component): Attached later to restore the visible tooth.

These two parts are connected using a small screw, forming a stable and durable artificial tooth that closely mimics natural teeth in appearance and function.


Treatment Timeline

The complete procedure typically takes 4–6 months, allowing time for proper healing and stability.

  • First Visit (3–4 days): Implant placement

  • Healing Period: 4–6 months for osseointegration (implant fuses with bone)

  • Second Visit (About 1 week): Abutment and crown placement

This staged approach ensures long-term strength and success.


Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Implant Placement

After a thorough consultation and diagnosis, the implant is placed into the jawbone. In cases where bone density is insufficient:

  • Bone Grafting (Socket Grafting) may be performed to strengthen the area.

  • Sinus Lift Procedure may be required in the upper molar or premolar region.

Once placed, the gum tissue is closed over the implant, and healing begins.

Step 2: Abutment & Crown Placement

After successful osseointegration:

  • The abutment is attached.

  • Impressions are taken to design a customized crown.

  • The final crown is fixed, restoring complete function and aesthetics.
