Dental implants
An implant is a small post placed in the jawbone that anchors an artificial tooth. Our dentists walk with you from the beginning until your implant is in place.
How it works
- 1. Planning
- Scans and x-rays give your dentist a clear picture of where to place the implant.
- 2. Placement
- The implant is placed in the jawbone during a minor operation, with a local anesthetic.
- 3. Healing and crown
- You heal for about three months while your crown is made in a lab, then the crown is attached.
