What to expect
- PlanningWe gather diagnostic information, often with 3D imaging, and walk you through your options.
- Custom planSimple cases can be finished in just a few visits. More complex cases take longer, and some patients need a bone graft first.
- Placement and healingThe implant is placed and given time to fuse with the bone.
- Final restorationOnce healed, the abutment and permanent crown are fitted.
Two approaches to placement
- Standard placementA two-stage process. The implant is placed with a temporary restoration, and the permanent crown is added once it has fully integrated.
- Immediate LoadThe implant, abutment, and a temporary crown are placed on the same day.
