Dental Implants

Remove Existing Tooth

Teeth affected by decay may reach a point where restoration is not possible, resulting in the need for tooth extraction. Following the extraction, a gap is typically left behind. In cases where patients have ample bone levels, implants serve as an ideal solution to fill this void.

Implant

The initial stage of receiving an implant involves placing the implant itself. Following this, a healing period of 4-6 months is necessary to ensure the full integration of the implant into your jawbone.

Abutment

Once the implant has properly healed, the dentist will install an abutment, which serves as the connection point for the implant crown.

Crown

Once the implant and abutment are correctly positioned and integrated, the dentist will craft a customized crown that matches the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. This crown will then be placed on the implant.
