Dental Implant Placement Steps

1. A patient is placed under sedation for the procedure
2. Implants are placed into the jaw and fastened into place
3. In the following months, the implant will fuse to the natural bone
4. After the patient has fully healed, a dental crown will be secured to the implant

Many times, a patient may need to have a bone grafting procedure before dental implants can be placed. Our team is fully qualified to perform this procedure and will ensure your comfort throughout the entire process.
