Regular dental implant takes just about three to four visits to the dentist. On the first visit an x-ray of the affected area is done, then an impression that will act as a surgical guide is done, and then finally a temporary prosthesis is used to cover the Implant.
On the second visit, after being given a local anesthesia, a little incision will be made to place the Implant, once the Implant is placed in the jaw bone, the dentist will cover the area with sutures.
Three months after this is done, you will return so that a Porcelain Crown will be made to cover the Implant.
