• Understanding the dental implants procedure is
  important if you are considering this treatment.
  It is one of the most effective yet a bit lengthy
  procedures that also require minor surgery as the
  implant has to be placed in the jaw bone for
  restoring the tooth.

3

• Dental implant surgery is a procedure that
  replaces tooth root with metal posts that are in
  shape of a screw and replaces the damaged or
  missing tooth with an artificial tooth that looks
  and functions like a real one

4

• The dental implant procedure depends on the type
  of implant and the condition of your jawbone the
  dentist will take several x-rays and digital
  images to ensure that he or she knows the exact
  condition and location of the jawbone to work
  most accurately

5

• As the major benefit of getting dental implants
  Blackburn is solid support for the new teeth and
  placement of the artificial root in the jawbone
  surgically, this process requires some time so
  the root gets fused to the bone and heals
  completely

6

• Placing a single implant can take as little as
  half an hour if your jawbone is perfect and does
  not need any work multiple implants can take up
  to 3 to 4 hours

7

• The dentist will remove the damaged tooth and its
  root and prepare the jawbone if needed. The bone
  will take some time to heal so that the implant
  post is fixed properly for the next step

8

• The abutment is placement on top of the root over
  which the artificial tooth or the crown will be
  placed this crown is made to fit in with other
  teeth in the mouth and looks and feels exactly
  like a natural one

9

• The crown is made after the dentist will take the
  size, shape and fit of your teeth in account and
  ensure that this crown fits in perfectly,
  allowing you to bite, chew and eat easily
