What is a dental implant?
An implant is a piece of titanium that is put into the jaw where the missing tooth was.
A crown is then fixed onto it.
It looks and feels just like a tooth.
How long does it take?
It is carried out in two stages.
The first stage is having the implant placed. This is an oral surgical procedure.
The implant is then left to join to the bone which takes 3-4 months, depending on where it is in the mouth. |
