The Dental Implant Process
Consultation & Planning
Our dentists will evaluate your oral health, take 3D scans, and create a personalized treatment plan. We’ll discuss your goals and answer all your questions about the procedure.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant is surgically placed into your jawbone. After placement, a healing period of 3-6 months allows the implant to bond with your bone (osseointegration).
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, we’ll attach an abutment to the implant and then place your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture for a natural-looking, functional result.
