As a patient of Miami Designer Smiles, you’ve likely heard of dental implants as a solution to tooth loss. This step-by-step guide outlines what you can expect during a dental implant procedure, designed to restore your smile and enhance your oral health.

The Preliminary Consultation

Assessment and Planning

Initially, your dental implant journey starts with an in-depth consultation. Dr. Raul Garcia or Dr. Concepcion Sanchez-Garcia at Miami Designer Smiles will evaluate your oral health, including the density of your jawbone, which plays a crucial role in the success of dental implants.

Dental Implant Procedure: A Step-by-Step Outline

Step 1: Implant Placement

During the first phase, the dental implant, which resembles a screw made of biocompatible titanium, is placed into the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth or teeth.

Step 2: Osseointegration

Post-implant placement, a process known as osseointegration follows. This implies that the implant integrates with your jawbone, which usually spans a few months.

Step 3: Abutment Placement

After the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment – a connector – is fixed on the implant.

Step 4: Crown Attachment

The final step involves attaching the dental crown to the abutment; this part replicates the visible portion of a tooth.

Post-Procedure Care
