What is involved?
There are three stages to placing dental implants. Local anaesthesia is used to eliminate any discomfort during the procedure.
- The implant is placed into your jaw and remains covered for three-six months by your gum while it adheres to the bone. You may be fitted with a temporary denture/bridge during this period.
- The implant is uncovered to attach an extension, which acts as the foundation of the new tooth.
- The new tooth is applied; it is designed to blend with the natural characteristics of your own teeth.
Treatment time will vary depending on your particular requirements. We will advise you about the best ways of caring for your new teeth to ensure the long-term success of the procedure.
