The Dental Implant Process

The dental implant process typically involves multiple stages and may take several months to complete. Here is a step-by-step guide to the process:

• Evaluation and Planning: The first step is a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including X-rays and dental impressions. The dentist will create a personalized treatment plan.
• Implant Placement: The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. It will take time for the implant to integrate with the bone.
• Abutment Placement: After the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment acts as a connector for the replacement tooth or bridge.
• Placement of the Replacement Tooth: Once the mouth has healed, the replacement tooth or bridge is attached to the abutment.
