A dental implant is a fixed titanium screw that integrates with the bone in your jaw. This process is called osseo-integration.

PHASE
Dental implants are placed into carefully drilled sockets at pre-planned precise locations. The aim during placement is to achieve close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into the microscopic roughness of the implant surface.
Dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted to support the replacement teeth. These components provide the foundation for long-term supported crowns, bridges or dentures.
There are four stages to implant treatment: Planning, Surgery, Restoration and Maintenance. You may be involved with a couple of different clinicians throughout the process as this is where each of their expertise lies.
