Dental implants, or teeth implants, are artificial tooth roots made of top grade titanium that support teeth restorations. Tooth implants are often the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth and is also one of the most conservative treatments for tooth replacement. The procedure involves placing the replacement root into the jaw. The new root fuses with the living bone, and begins to stimulate the jaw and keep it healthy.

The Implant Dentistry Process Step by Step
- Step 1
- Step 2
- Step 3
Step 1 - Initial Placement
Month 1 (if no bone grafting is necessary)
Month 5 (if bone grafting is necessary)
The initial placement is done after our dental implant dentists have done your initial consultation and determined that you are a good candidate for dental implants.
Once you have enough bone to successfully hold an implant, you will schedule the first procedure, which involves placing the implant or implants in your jaw. It is done using a plastic surgical guide made by our implant dentist. The guide fits over your existing teeth and extends over the area where teeth are missing to show where the implants need to be placed.
After the first surgery, the dentist will wait four or five months if implants were placed in the lower jaw, and six or seven months if they were placed in the upper jaw. During this time, the bone and the implants heal.
