Implants

Dental implants are a solution for replacing a missing tooth. The implant process typically lasts up to 6-9 months from start to finish. The implant itself resembles a screw that is inserted into the bone. Once placed, it takes about 3-6 months for the bone to heal around the implant, securing it in place. After this healing period, it requires about 2-3 more dental appointments to have a crown placed over the implant and to restore your smile with the finished product.
