The dental implant procedure will begin with an initial assessment, dental implant placement, a healing period to ensure the jawbone has adheared to the implant and a final placement of the restorative piece.

• Next, the dental implant will be put in place.
• Along with prescribed medicine for the initial discomfort, a recommended healing time will begin based on the individual situation to ensure the post is completely adheared to the bone tissue.
• The patient will return for placement of the abutment after fusion of the dental implant post is complete.
• An impression is then taken of the abutment and the surrounding teeth to ensure the final crown placement will make for a comfortable bite.
• Next, the fabrication of the dental crown (based on the impression) will be created in the dental laboratory.
