What is the implant procedure like?
The implant procedure usually occurs in three steps. In the initial step, the implant bases will be placed in your jaw in preparation for the placement of the final implants. These bases will need several months to bond with the underlying bone before they'll be strong enough to support the implant and the pressures placed on it. During this time, you'll be given a bridge or denture to wear so your mouth looks and functions the way it should. You'll probably be asked to eat a soft diet during the first week or two to allow the bases to “settle in.”
In the second step, metal posts will be attached to the implant bases. These posts will be used to support the denture, or “faux” tooth, which will be placed in the third visit. Also during the second visit, measurements will be made to enable your faux teeth to be fabricated.
In the third phase, the new teeth are attached to the posts and any shaping or adjustments are made to ensure a good fit and natural appearance.
