The first step of receiving your dental implant is when our dentist in Pasadena places the dental implant into your jawbone using a specialized form of surgery. While you are healing, our dentist may recommend that you only consume foods that are soft and cold.
The next stage of the process involves the healing of the bone around your implant. The bone in this area will begin fusing with your new implant and provide a solid foundation that is treated just like your original tooth. Depending upon the procedure, you may need to wait until the complete integration of your implant before your replacement tooth can be attached to the post. In other situations, patients may have the replacement teeth implants placed during only one visit.
