Surgical process
by hmsdesk1
Implant Placement: The dental implant posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone, typically under local anaesthesia. In some cases, sedation or general anaesthesia may be used.
Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring stability and strength.

Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, abutments (connectors) are attached to the implant posts, protruding above the gumline. This allows for the attachment of the prosthetic teeth.
Prosthetic Teeth Placement: Customized crowns, bridges, or dentures are fabricated to match the shape, color, and alignment of natural teeth. These prosthetic teeth are then securely attached to the abutments.
