Multiple dental implants require different procedures as the gums take time to heal, and the fixtures take time to fuse with the jawbone. However, with Boones Landing Dental Center you can rest carefree. Our doctors will help you understand your procedure and the necessary steps before we begin.
The procedure begins with your first doctor’s appointment, where you receive a consultation and an examination. The exam might require an x-ray, which helps the dentist determine your suitability for the procedure. At this stage, the dentist will also let you know if you require tooth extraction or bone grafting.
The second step involves placing the implants inserted under local anesthesia. These are titanium-based screws added to the jaw.
Once these fittings heal, you will be called for your final appointment. You may need to visit the dentist a few times before the final insertion. If your implants have healed, you will be fitted with abutments and artificial teeth.
