initial evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate for implants. During this consultation, our dental care providers will assess your oral health, take x-rays, and discuss your treatment options.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Implant placement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. The implant is then left to heal and integrate with the jawbone.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Healing period<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The implant integrates with the jawbone over several months. This process, known as osseointegration, is crucial for the stability and success of the implant. During this time, the bone grows around the implant, securing it in place.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Abutment placement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A small connector is attached to the implant. Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, the abutment is placed. This connector will hold the crown securely in place.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Restoration placement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The artificial tooth or teeth are placed on the abutment, completing the restoration.
