To begin the implant process, a metal post is surgically positioned into the jaw. This post will act as a permanent root for the implanted tooth. Once it is in place, the surrounding bone and tissue needs time to heal.
Implants require healthy gums and adequate bone. A patient must also be committed to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, as these are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.
