The process for dental implants usually happens over several months. You’ll come into our office, where we’ll then take X-rays and molds of your teeth and jaw. This helps determine the natural bone structure and spacing of your mouth and teeth. Afterward, we’ll numb the area where the implant is to be placed and insert it into the bone. After that, we’ll leave the implant to heal and allow the bone to strengthen around it for up to six months. Concurrently, we’ll begin crafting the artificial tooth to fit on the end of the implant’s post. This step takes anywhere from one to two months and will require several adjustments and fittings. This is an important step and allows the final product to provide perfect stability and remarkable comfort for the patient.
