Often requiring two appointments, placement of your
implant will consist of a small incision in your gum-line and the implant gently guided into your jawbone at a precise position as determined through detailed x-rays and oral examinations. Local anaesthetic ensures you are completely comfortable at all times, with many people who receive implants returning to their normal daily routine the following day.
The
implant will take between 3-6 months, to bond with your jawbone, during which time a temporary crown or bridge may be placed so you are able to retain your full smile and chewing function.
At your second
appointment, your temporary teeth are removed and your new crown or bridge is permanently secured to your implant, rejuvenating your smile and quality of life.
