Preparation
We may perform some preliminary procedures before implant surgery to improve your candidacy for dental implants. For example, if you have extensive bone loss, we will recommend bone grafting to fortify your jawbone. These procedures will help to enhance the success of dental implants later on.
Implant Surgery
This step involves a surgical process for inserting 4 dental implants in your jawbone. The surgery takes place under local anesthesia. Implant surgery follows a healing period of about 3 months to allow the fusion of dental implants with the surrounding jawbone. These implants act as supportive pillars for the dental prosthesis.
Denture Placement
After sufficient healing, we will permanently fix a complete dental prosthesis on top of the implants. It resembles your natural teeth and gum line, restoring a perfect-looking smile!
