How the Dental Implant Procedure Works

The dental implant procedure is a proven method that helps replace missing teeth permanently with tooth-colored and tooth-shaped prosthetic materials.

The first step in the dental implant procedure is to place a titanium post deep into the gums and bone where a natural tooth would go. This titanium post needs time to become permanently embedded into your mouth, so several months of healing are required. The post does not stick above the gum line, so it will not interfere with your normal eating or speaking.

After the post site has healed satisfactorily, an abutment and temporary crown will be attached to the post. The abutment will hold the temporary crown until a permanent crown can be made. The goal is for the permanent crown to look exactly like the surrounding teeth, and to function as a normal tooth would. After the permanent crown has been bonded to the abutment, it is expected to last for at least 20 years.
