A Step By Step Approach to Single Tooth Implants |

1. Before the procedure
An examination is done including necessary x-rays and sometime a special dental CAT scan. Impressions are sometimes necessary to plan the size and shape of the final tooth.
2. Installing the Implant
The implant is installed. At this time a temporary tooth is often provided. This will allow you to eat and function almost immediately. The implant will need a few months to integrate with the jawbone before the next stop is taken.
3. Attaching the new Crown
The final step is the placement of the ceramic crown. The new tooth is installed. No additional treatment is needed.
4. Final result
You should expect the new tooth to fit and function just like a natural tooth. Do your usual dental hygiene to keep the tooth and gum around it clean and healthy.
