Dental Implants

The Implant Process

A clear walkthrough of what to expect — from your first consultation through the final crown.

Step 1: Consultation

The first visit is a thorough exam, your medical history, photos, and a 3D scan so the case can be planned carefully. You’ll get a clear treatment plan and cost estimate before anything begins.

Step 2: Implant placement

At the placement visit, the titanium implant is gently inserted into the jawbone where the missing tooth was. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable. Most patients say afterward that the visit was easier than expected.

Step 3: Healing

Over the next few months, your bone naturally grows around the implant and fuses to it — a process called osseointegration. You’ll have a temporary in place during this time.

Step 4: Final crown

Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached and a custom porcelain crown is bonded on top, shaded to match your other teeth. You leave with a replacement that looks and feels natural.
