Our expert dentists will carefully examine your mouth and take x-rays of your head, jaw, and teeth to find out if dental implants are right for you. If they are, we’ll move right ahead to placement. 

To ensure your comfort, you will receive anesthesia before the surgical process begins. Once it kicks in, we will make an incision in your gums, place the dental implant, and then stitch the gums closed over the implant. 

This will take some time to heal (3-6 months) and even more time for the jawbone to fully integrate with the implant. The jawbone must heal while the implant secures itself firmly into the gum tissue. 

Once the tissue heals and the bone has fused with the implant, we’ll ask you to come back for your second surgery. This time, we will create another incision in your gums to expose the implant. We will then attach an abutment to the dental implant and stitch the gums closed, leaving the abutment exposed. The abutment is the point of connection between the implant and your restoration. This will take about two weeks to heal.

Eventually, when you have recovered, we’ll attach an artificial custom-made replacement tooth onto the abutment. After this is done, your new tooth will look just like a real one, your smile will be restored, you’ll gain maximum chewing capabilities, and you’ll finally be all done!
