Dental Implant Planning

Dental implant planning is the process dentists use to prepare for placing a dental implant, which is an artificial tooth root. It involves assessing the patient's oral health, taking images like X-rays or 3D scans to evaluate bone structure, and determining the best implant type and placement location. The dentist also considers factors such as gum health and bite alignment. This careful planning ensures that the implant will integrate well with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for a replacement tooth, and ultimately aims to restore function and aesthetics for the patient.
