What Are the Steps Involved in Getting Dental Implants?

The process of getting dental implants usually involves several steps:

• Initial Consultation: The first step is to schedule an initial consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon. During this appointment, they will evaluate your oral health, take x-rays, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
• Implant Placement: Once you are deemed eligible for dental implants, the next step is the implant placement surgery. The dentist or oral surgeon will insert the implants into your jawbone and allow time for osseointegration, which is the process of the implants fusing with the bone.
• Placement of Artificial Teeth: After the implants have fused with the bone, the dentist will place the artificial teeth (crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures) onto the implants, completing the restoration.
