During a dental implant procedure, the implant dentist at Guaranteed Dental Solutions will remove the decayed or damaged tooth. They will then prepare the jawbone, a process that may involve bone grafting. During a bone grafting procedure, the dentist will remove a piece of bone from another part of jaw or body and transplant it to the area the implant will be inserted. They will then wait for a few months before placing the dental implant.
When placing the implant, the cosmetic dentist will cut open the gums and drill holes into the jawbone. They will then place the implant, and wait for about six months for osseointegration to occur. During this time, the dentist will place a temporary denture to improve the patient’s smile. After osseointegration is complete, the dentist will reopen the gum tissue, expose the implant and the place then an abutment before closing the gum tissues again.
