The Process of Receiving Dental Implants
During your initial consultation, your dentist will determine if you are eligible to receive dental implants. If you are eligible, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. A dental implant is comprised of three parts: a screw, abutment, and crown. The screw will act as the roots of your tooth and will be surgically placed into your jaw bone. The abutment connects the crown that will replace your tooth and fill in the missing space. If you have any questions about the procedure, please contact us.
