Should you find yourself seeking more information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. It's important to recognize that each patient presents a unique oral landscape, including where the implant will be positioned and the available bone for implant placement. Due to this individuality, we strongly recommend consulting with a dental professional to address any queries or concerns you may have concerning the implant procedure.

Let's briefly explore what a dental implant entails. Whether a tooth has been extracted or never grew, a fixture is surgically implanted into the jawbone, as demonstrated in the video. Following this step, there is typically a waiting period of approximately three to four months during which the fixture fuses with the bone. Once this integration is complete, we can affix a crown atop the implant, resembling what we typically observe in our natural dentition. Subsequently, after the healing period, the crown is placed, and the dental implant functions akin to a regular tooth.

While a dental implant closely emulates natural teeth, it's important to note that there are certain distinctions. Nonetheless, it remains the most comparable replacement to a natural tooth that we have at our disposal. With any luck, this video has dispelled some of the uncertainties surrounding dental implants.
