After osseointegration complete, your dentist will place the abutment, which is a small connector post that will hold your new tooth. This is a process where the jawbone grows into the surface of the implant and can take several months to complete. Once the metal implant post is placed, osseointegration begins. Your dentist will place a temporary denture for appearance. At this stage, you will still have a gap where your tooth is missing. To do this, your dentist makes an incision to expose the bone and puts the metal implant post deep into the bone. The next stage after the damaged tooth removal and bone graft (if you need one) is placing the dental implant. However, if you need a significant amount of bone graft, the implant surgery may have to be postponed until the transplanted bone grows enough new bone to support the dental implant. If you only need minor bone grafting, the implant surgery can be performed on the same day. The bone graft may be natural (taken from another part of your body) or synthetic (a bone-substitute material). Then, if your jawbone is too soft or not thick enough, your dentist may perform bone grafting to create a more solid base for the implant. The first stage is removing the damaged tooth. Each stage may be performed under general or local anesthetic. However, the surgery may involve several stages, and, in some cases, it may require two separate visits to the clinic to complete.ĭental implant surgery generally requires several stages.

Dental implants also enable natural speech, look and feel like your own teeth, make eating easier, and improves your appearance.

Since dental implants eventually fuse with your jawbone over the span of several months, it won’t make noise, slip, or cause bone damage the way dentures or bridgework might. It also offers a great option for people when they do not have enough natural teeth roots left to build denture or bridgework replacements. It function and look much like a real tooth, restoring your ability to chew and improves your overall appearance. Dental implant surgery is considered as a better alternative to dentures or bridgework that does not fit well. It's surgically placed into the jaw to act as a replacement for the root of a missing or damaged tooth, which in turn serves to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
