Your consultation
Your first visit will include a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. We’ll take any necessary 3D Imaging to plan your procedure and determine if you need a Bone Graft or any other preparatory treatments.
Medical & dental history review
We’ll review your health background and medications to ensure Dental Implants are a safe option for you. Patients with certain conditions (such as diabetes or heart issues) may need medical clearance before proceeding.
Pre-surgical instructions
You’ll receive detailed guidelines tailored to your case, which may include:
- Avoiding food or drinks before surgery (especially if you’ll have IV Sedation)
- Stopping certain medications (if instructed by your doctor)
- Arranging transportation to and from your appointment. We require that the patient be accompanied by an adult escort driver
- Setting up time to rest at home following the procedure
Sedation and comfort
Your safety and comfort are our top priority. Depending on your treatment plan, you may receive Local Anesthesia, IV Sedation, or both. We’ll make sure you’re fully relaxed before beginning.
Implant placement:
- A small incision is made in the gum to access the jawbone
- A precision-guided hole is drilled to receive the implant post
- The titanium implant is placed and either left to heal under the gum or fitted with a healing abutment or cap
Single implant procedures typically take 30–60 minutes. Full-arch or multi-implant surgeries may take longer. Afterward, you’ll be carefully and closely monitored until it’s safe for you to go home.
Initial recovery (first 24–72 hours)
- Some swelling, soreness, and minor bruising are common
- Ice packs can reduce inflammation during the first 24 hours
- Stick to soft, cool foods and avoid hot or spicy items
- Over-the-counter pain medication is usually sufficient, but prescriptions may be provided if needed
Ongoing healing and Osseointegration (weeks to months)
- The implant will slowly integrate with your jawbone in a process called Osseointegration, which typically takes 3–6 months
- You’ll return for follow-up appointments so we can monitor your healing progress
- If needed, we may place a temporary tooth during this phase to maintain appearance and function
Final steps: abutment and crown placement
Once healing is complete, we’ll:
- Uncover the implant (if it was buried beneath the gum)
- Attach a small connector piece called an abutment
- Secure your custom-made crown to restore full function and aesthetics
We’ll send you home with detailed instructions on how to clean around the implant site, what to eat, and how to support proper healing.
