  2. Dental implants comprise titanium posts strategically positioned within the jawbone, serving as synthetic tooth roots to provide structural support for prosthetic teeth. The process involves osseointegration, wherein the implant securely integrates with the surrounding jawbone, facilitating a robust foundation for bridges, dentures, or crowns.

  3. The initial stage entails a comprehensive dental assessment accompanied by imaging tests to evaluate the condition of the jawbone and identify any potential complications. This process ensures the suitability of the patient for dental implant placement. Perform 3D imaging using Cone Beam radiography

  4. Subsequently, the titanium implant posts are meticulously positioned within the jawbone through surgical intervention conducted by a specialized implant dentist. This pivotal step establishes the groundwork upon which a replacement tooth will be affixed.

  5. Following the placement of a dental implant, a period of several months is typically required for the implant to undergo osseointegration, a vital process wherein it securely fuses with the jawbone while allowing for proper healing

  6. Following the completion of successful osseointegration, abutments are affixed to the implant, serving as connectors to secure the artificial tooth in place.

  7. Ultimately, the customized crown, denture, or bridge is affixed to the abutment, thereby completing the dental implant procedure and reinstating both the aesthetic appeal and functional capability of your smile.
