Dental implants is done when you, the patient, visits a trained oral surgeon dentist. A screw is surgically implanted right to the bone of the jaw where the tooth will be held. Once the implantation is done and healed the oral surgeon or dentist will then begin to proceed by placing the implant restoration. Afterwards an impression of the restoration will be created and then sent to the dental laboratory.
Your tooth or teeth are then created and designed in such a way for them to fill up the space that will also match the shape and size of all the existing teeth. When this part of the implantation is done the dentist will then place your newer tooth or teeth inside your mouth where an adjustment is made so it can fit the way you will bite.
