First Appointment
The first visit consists of a consultation. During this essential dental x-rays are obtained and the area where implants will be placed is evaluated to make sure that the quality of the bone is good and quantity of the surrounding bone is sufficient to support an implant. A diagnostic impression is also taken.
Second Appointment
The implant is placed in the jaw bone and allowed to heal and incorporate with the surrounding bone. The time it takes for a dental implant to integrate with the hard tissues varies between 4-6 months. Some of the main factors that can affect healing include the location of placement, general health of the patient, quality of bone , health of the surrounding area where implant is placed, type of dental implant used, and oral hygiene of the individual. All these factors can determine how fast and how well the implant will integrate. After a dental implant is placed it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months before the final restoration is completed. Implant placement is completed with just local anesthesia and the whole procedure is performed under sterile conditions.
