Implant Fixture. This is the titanium post that acts as the root of the tooth. It is surgically placed into the jawbone and fuses with the bone for stability.

Abutment. The abutment is a connector piece that attaches to the implant fixture. It provides a base for the crown or other dental prosthetics.

Crown or Prosthetic Tooth. This is the visible part of the dental implant. Custom-made to match your natural teeth, the crown restores the appearance and function of the missing tooth.

Consultation and Evaluation. During your initial visit, your dentist will assess your oral health and determine if you’re a good candidate for implants. They may take X-rays or 3D scans to evaluate your bone structure.

Implant Placement. The implant fixture is surgically placed into your jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia for minimal discomfort.

Healing and Osseointegration. After placement, the implant needs time to heal and integrate with the jawbone. This process can take several weeks to a few months.

Attaching the Abutment. Once the implant has fused with the bone, the abutment is placed on top of the implant fixture.

Fitting the Prosthetic Tooth. Finally, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.

Natural Appearance. Implants look and feel like natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile. 

Durability. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.

Improved Oral Health. Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering adjacent teeth. They also help prevent bone loss in the jaw.

Enhanced Functionality. Implants restore full chewing and speaking abilities, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.
