The Procedure for Dental Implants

Obtaining dental implants near you will require more than one visit to your dental office over several months. Before beginning the implant process, you will be required to schedule a consultation first to determine if you qualify as a candidate for dental implants in NW Edmonton. Patients must have adequate bone to support the implants, otherwise, bone grafting may be necessary.

The first stage of the implant process involves planning for the procedure. Your dentist will begin by taking X-rays and impressions of your teeth and jaw. They will then numb the affected areas, and surgically place the implants into your bone. The dental implants near you will integrate into your jawbone and fuse through osseointegration. This generally takes up to six months.

Once your jawbone has healed, you will return for your second visit at which point your artificial teeth are securely attached to your implants, providing excellent stability and comfort.
