Receiving dental implants usually requires at least two separate appointments.
During your first appointment, your dentist or oral surgeon will examine your mouth and take multiple x-rays. This allows them to better understand your oral health situation and determine the best course of action you require. Impressions of your mouth will be taken so that your dental implants can be created.
Once they’re officially ready, you’ll return for a second visit to have them installed. In some cases, your dentist may ask you to come back for a follow-up check so they can see how your mouth is healing with your implants.
