A first surgery places the implants under your gums, inside the jaw. When the bone grows around the implants, they become firmly fixed. This is called osseointegration. In order for osseointegration to occur, the implants must remain covered for three to six months. |
 |
After the healing period, a easy procedure is performed to expose the implants and place abutments (securing post) into the implant shafts. The abutments will be used to hold the new teeth. Immediately, the implant post can be loaded. |
 |
In the third and final phase, the dentist creates and fits the replacement teeth to your mouth. This involves making impressions, bite registrations (aligning the teeth so that they come together correctly), bridge fittings and tooth and color selection. |
