Here’s what you can typically expect during the dental implant journey:
1. Initial Consultation & Imaging
We conduct a thorough exam, including digital X-rays or a 3D CT scan, to assess bone quality and plan your treatment.
2. Surgical Placement
Under local anesthesia (and sedation if needed), the implant is placed into your jawbone.
A healing period of 3–6 months allows the implant to integrate with the bone.
3. Abutment Placement
Once healed, a small connector (abutment) is placed. In some cases, this is done during the initial surgery.
4. Final Restoration
A custom crown, bridge, or denture is fitted onto the implant for a natural-looking and fully functional result.
5. Ongoing Maintenance
Just like natural teeth, implants need regular cleaning and dental check-ups to ensure long-term success.
