Your specialist will insert an implant into your jawbone, underneath the gum tissue. Once completed, the gum tissue is stitched back into place. As the tissue heals, the implant bonds with our jawbone and attaches to the gum. This can take anywhere from 3-6 months to heal. Follow up visits at our Point Grey clinic will determine when we can move on to Stage 2.
Note: In some cases (contingent upon patient’s ability to accept so) the first and second stage (below) of the dental implant procedure can be done as one.
