The first step is to replace the missing tooth’s root by surgically placing a Titanium Implant Screw directly into the jaw bone so that proper integration will occur, thus initiating a natural process known as “osseointegration.” Osseointegration normally takes place in a period between three to six months wherein the implant screw will remain covered and protected underneath the gums the whole time.

The second step involves the removal of the protection cap to expose the implant screw so that an “abutment” can be properly attached to it. The abutment serves as an extension to the implant and a connector to the “dental crown” at the same time. This completes the foundation on which your “new tooth” will be supported in place.

The last and final step in completing the procedure is the placement of the dental crown, or to be quite literal, your “new tooth” actually. With proper techniques your dentist will make sure that the dental crown is of optimal size, shape, fit, and colour to perfectly blend with your existing natural teeth and facial characteristics.
