Installing Single Tooth Implant
The course of treatment described here is one of several
options available. Consult your dentist to find out what the
best solution is for you, given your specific condition.
 1:
Before the procedure
The dentist makes a first examination and takes one or more
x-rays of the area to prepare for the procedure.
 2:
Installing the implant
The implant is installed. At this time, a temporary tooth
is provided that allows you eat and function like normal almost
immediately. The implant will need a few months to integrate
with the jawbone before the next step is taken.
 3:
Attaching the new crown
The final step is the placement of the permanent ceramic
tooth. The new tooth is installed for life. No additional
treatment is needed.
 4:
End result
You should expect the new tooth to fit and function just
like a natural tooth. Do your usual dental hygiene to keep
the tooth and gum around it clean and healthy.
