Dental Implants Surgery
Dental implants surgery is necessary to prepare the area for an implant and place the implant in the mouth. Following the procedure, a period of time; usually four to six months is required for the implant to take hold and for bone tissue to build up (integrate) and anchor the device. In most cases, if you are having a tooth removed, we can remove and place the dental implant in one visit which eliminates the need for a second surgery!
After the surgery has taken place, post-operative instructions will be given to you and you will be scheduled a two week post-operative check. After this check we will see you back in the office periodically and take x-rays of the surgery site to ensure adequate healing (integration of the bone and implant) is taking place. The implant healing time is four to six months before we can permanently restore the tooth with a crown.
