Dental implants are like artificial roots for teeth.

They are placed in your jawbone to support replacement teeth when you have missing ones.

They help you eat, talk, and smile like you did before.^[4]U.S. Food & Drug Administration

Step 1: Evaluation

First, the dentist examines your teeth and jawbone.

This is done to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants.

Step 2: Preparing the Jawbone

Suppose your jawbone is not strong enough or lacks sufficient space.

Then you may need a bone graft to create space for the implant.

Step 3: Implant Placement

The dentist will make a small cut in your gum and create a small hole in the jawbone.

Then, they will carefully put in an implant that looks like a metal screw.

It takes the place of your natural tooth root.

Step 4: Osseointegration

After the implant is placed, your jawbone needs time to heal and join together with the implant.

This process, called osseointegration, takes a few months.

Step 5: Abutment Placement

Once the osseointegration is done, a tiny connector called an abutment is attached to the implant.

It links the implant to the replacement tooth.

Step 6: Tooth Replacement

Finally, a custom-made dental crown is created to match your other teeth.

It gets attached to the abutment, completing the dental implant process.

Dental Implant Surgery
“During surgery to place the dental implant, your oral surgeon makes a cut to open your gum and expose the bone. Holes are drilled into the bone where the dental implant metal post will be placed…Once the metal implant post is placed in your jawbone, osseointegration begins…When osseointegration is complete, you may need additional surgery to place the abutment — the piece where the crown will eventually attach.”

After this initial visit, they will send the mold to a laboratory that fabricates the custom-fit porcelain veneers. The dentist may place temporary veneers on the teeth while a person waits for the laboratory to make the permanent ones.
