What is the Implant process?

Implant treatment normally has two stages. First, the gum is numbed and lifted open. The implant is then placed in the jaw and allowed to heal for a period of 12 weeks . Then, when the jaw has healed, replacement teeth are attached to the implant.

In some situations it is possible for temporary teeth to be attached to an implant at the time of fitting. This way you won’t have missing teeth whilst the implant is healing.
