What does getting dental implants involve?
Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the "post" that will hold the artificial tooth (crown) in place. After healing and implant bone integration, crowns are made and fitted in order to provide function and estethics. They will provid long term stability and comfort. You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new implant.
