The conventional dental implants procedure usually necessitate two trips over a three-to-six month period. 

During the first stage of the implant procedure, the dentist will painlessly open your gum and create a small hole in the jaw bone into which the implant is inserted. The gum is closed over the implant and the area left to heal. During this time your bone will fuse with the implant in a process called osseointegration, which provides a secure and stable root for the replacement tooth (crown) to be fitted. Your dentist will check that everything is as it should be before you return home.

On your next visit, the crown will be manufactured and fitted. Your implantologist will reopen the gum, inserting a connecting post (called an abutment) into the implant into which the crown will be placed. It’s a relatively quick and painless procedure–you will be given local anesthetic–and you shouldn’t feel any more discomfort than you would for a filling.
