The titanium implant post is carefully placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth was located. This post serves as the foundation for the final restoration.
Following placement, the implant undergoes a process known as osseointegration, during which it fuses with the surrounding bone. This creates a stable and secure foundation for the replacement tooth.
Once healing is complete, a custom dental crown is attached to the implant, restoring the appearance and function of your smile. Patients seeking a full-arch solution may benefit from All-on-4 implants as an alternative tooth replacement option.
