How dental Implants are placed

Short Answer

Dental implant placement involves inserting a titanium implant into the jawbone under local anesthesia, typically taking about an hour for one implant. The implant then heals and bonds with the bone (osseointegration) over 3-6 months before a final crown is attached, though a temporary tooth replacement is worn during healing.

Step 1: Implant Placement

The titanium dental implant is placed into the jawbone during a straightforward in-office procedure — usually around an hour for one implant, or two to three hours for multiple implants. Local anesthesia numbs the area beforehand, and sedation options are available if needed. A small incision is made in the gum, a precise socket is created in the bone, and the implant is placed. Sutures close the incision afterward.

Step 2: Healing (Osseointegration)

The implant remains under the gum for approximately 3-6 months while it fuses with the jawbone — a process called osseointegration. During this healing period, a temporary tooth replacement option is worn so you're never without teeth.

Step 3: Attaching the Abutment

Once healing is complete, a small component called an abutment is attached to the implant. This connects the implant to your final crown. A temporary "healing abutment" is often placed first, followed by the final abutment.

Step 4: Placing Your New Crown

The final step is creating and placing your custom crown — designed to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. Depending on complexity, this may take one to two visits. The crown is then cemented or screwed onto the abutment, completing your restoration.

After healing, a new incision is made over the implant and another component, called an abutment, is screwed on top. The abutment is used to support a crown. A temporary abutment, called a healing abutment, usually is placed before a final abutment.

The final step of the process is the creation and placement of your new teeth, called crowns. Depending on the number and complexity of your crowns, this may require several fittings. So it may take one or two months to complete the restoration process. With cosmetic dentistry techniques that ensure optimal size, shape, color and fit, they will blend with your facial characteristics, while providing support needed for a natural appearance.The crown, which is made to look like a natural tooth, is cemented or screwed onto the abutment.
