The dentist performs a complete examination, including X-rays and CT scans, to assess oral health and plan the procedure, ensuring that the amount of bone is adequate for the implant.

A small titanium screw is inserted into the maxillary or mandibular bone through a surgical procedure. This implant acts as the root of the tooth.

The implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, which can last from 3 to 6 months, ensuring a solid base for the artificial tooth.

Once the implant is integrated, a customized crown that mimics the appearance and function of a natural tooth is placed on top of the implant.
