Understanding the Dental Implant Process: Step-by-Step Guide
If you’re considering dental implants to restore your smile, it’s helpful to understand how the process works from start to finish. At CosmetoCity, we guide our patients through each stage with expert care — from the initial surgery to the final, natural-looking result.
Here’s an overview of the three main stages of the dental implant process:
🦷 1. Implant Placement
The first stage involves the surgical placement of the dental implant into the jawbone:
- A small incision is made in the gum to access the bone
- A precise hole is drilled, and the implant post (usually titanium) is inserted
- The gum is closed with stitches to begin the healing process
This minor outpatient procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Some patients may also receive a temporary restoration to maintain aesthetics during healing.
⏳ 2. Osseointegration
After the implant is placed, the body begins a natural healing process called osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone. This step is essential for creating a strong, stable foundation for your new tooth.
- Osseointegration usually takes 8 to 16 weeks, depending on individual healing speed and bone quality
- Patients are advised to follow a soft-food diet and maintain good oral hygiene
- In some cases, a second minor procedure may be done to place a healing abutment
👑 3. Final Restoration
Once the implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone, the final restoration is placed:
- The gum is gently reopened to expose the implant
- A custom abutment is attached to the implant
- A dental crown, bridge, or denture is secured to the abutment, completing your new smile
The final result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
