The Dental Implant Procedure

• Evaluation: The dentist will assess the senior's oral health and take X-rays to determine if they are a suitable candidate for implants.
• Surgery: The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. The healing process takes several months as the implants fuse with the bone.
• Abutment placement: Once the implants have integrated, abutments are attached to the implants to connect the artificial teeth.
• Artificial teeth placement: Finally, custom-made artificial teeth (crowns or dentures) are securely attached to the abutments, completing the dental implant process.
