The process of getting dental implants typically involves multiple visits over several months. First, X-rays and impressions are taken to assess the bone and gum structure, ensuring that there is enough space for the implant. The implant is then surgically placed into the jawbone while the area is numbed. After placement, the implant needs time to heal and integrate with the bone, which can take several months. For some implants, a second procedure may be required to attach a post that will hold the artificial tooth, while other implants come with the post pre-attached.

Once the healing process is complete, custom-made replacement teeth are created and fitted to the implant posts, restoring your smile. This final stage may take one to two months to ensure the perfect fit and comfort.
