Dental implants are a method for replacing teeth that have been lost or damaged. A dental implant is a titanium screw that acts as an artificial root for your tooth!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wondering what the healing process looks like for dental implants?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A: 1 INITIAL RECOVERY
It takes about two weeks for your mouth to recover from the initial implant placement process. Make sure to follow your post-operative recovery instructions during this time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2 OSSEOINTEGRATION
Over a period of 3-6 months, the implant will permanently bond with your jaw, becoming an artificial tooth root to which an implant-supported restoration can be attached.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3 RESTORATION PLACEMENT
You’ll come in for multiple appointments while you heal to have your implant-supported restoration built. Once your mouth is fully healed, your restoration will be permanently bonded to your implant.
