Dental implants, explained
Dental implants are replacement teeth that look, function, and feel like natural teeth. Made of titanium, dental implants fuse with the jawbone and can last for several years.

Rendering
In the first stage, we will bury the dental implant in your mouth - underneath your gum and flush with your jawbone. We use a state-of-the-art 3D Cone Beam CT to create a detailed rendering of your mouth, which enables us to be much more accurate and safe in the placement of your implant.

Creation
During the second stage, we'll place a post into the implant called the abutment. The gum is then given time to heal around the abutment.

Crown Placement
Once your mouth has healed and the implant and post have been fully integrated into your mouth, we attach a customized crown to the post to leave you with a smile that looks like new.
