What to Expect from the Dental Implant Process in Cary
From start to finish, the dental implant process takes several months. Rest assured that our dental team will do everything possible to ensure it proceeds smoothly. We’ll answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.
Here are the steps of the dental implant process:
- Comprehensive evaluation — First, we'll conduct a thorough dental examination and review your medical history. We’ll then take digital images to assess your candidacy for implants, ensuring you have healthy teeth and gums.
- Treatment planning — The next step involves creating a customized treatment plan tailored to your smile. We’ll discuss this plan with you, including the treatment timeline and all treatment costs.
- Implant placement — On the day of your implant surgery, a periodontist or oral surgeon will precisely place the implant into your jaw. Over the next few months, it will fuse with your jawbone in a process known as osseointegration.
- Final restoration — The last step in the process is where we’ll place your screw-retained crown into the implant fixture, tighten the screw, and place a tooth-colored filling in the screw access channel, giving you a strong, aesthetically pleasing smile.
