To receive implants for your lost teeth, you need to undergo surgery. The process entails cutting open the gum tissue to expose the jawbone underneath. The oral surgeon then drills the jawbone to create room for the tooth implant. Afterward, (s)he secures the implant in the drilled hole by suturing the gums. The oral surgeon then places an abutment over the implant before discharging you to heal for some time before the final step. The healing period can take between 3 and 4 months before you are ready for the crowning step.
The last dental visit entails crowning the implant. The ideal dental restoration for crowning an implant is a dental crown. The process is fairly simple and quick as it only entails dental cement to bond the porcelain crown to the tooth implant.
