First, Dr. Kupetz examines your mouth and takes detailed scans to plan your implant placement precisely. This digital planning ensures your implants are positioned exactly where they need to be for optimal function and appearance.
Next, the titanium implants are surgically placed into your jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for your new teeth. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia for your comfort.
Over the next few months, your implants integrate with your natural bone through a process called osseointegration. Once this healing is complete, your custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are attached to the implants, giving you a fully functional set of permanent teeth.
