Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure that requires careful planning and includes the following steps:
1. Initial consultation: During this step, your dentist will discuss the best implant option for you and create a treatment plan.
2. Placement of the implant: During this step, the implant is surgically placed in the jawbone.
3. Healing period: After placement, a healing period of several months is necessary for the implant to properly integrate with the jawbone.
4. Attachment of abutment and prosthetic: After the healing period is complete, the abutment is attached to the implant and prosthetic teeth are placed.
5. Follow-up visits: After the procedure is complete, regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to ensure the implant is functioning properly.
