Here is the step-by-step process of getting teeth implants:
1. Initial Consultation and Treatment Planning: Our implant dentist in Huntington, NY will evaluate your oral health, take impressions, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
2. Dental Implant Placement: The implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone, and a nonpermanent crown may be placed while the implant integrates with the bone.
3. Osseointegration: Over a few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone and provides a stable and secure foundation.
4. Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, connecting it to the artificial tooth or teeth.
5. Restoration Placement: The final step involves attaching the custom-designed dental crown, tooth bridge, or denture to the abutment, completing the restoration process.
