what to expect
The dental Implant Process
You’ll come back in a few weeks for your placement procedure. Using your treatment plan, Dr. Tuan will create a small incision in your gums to access your jaw. Your implant will be placed precisely into this opening, then the area will be cleaned, sanitized, and sutured shut.
Initial recovery takes only about a week, but it takes 3-6 months for the implant to bond (osseointegrate) with the surrounding bone and gum tissue. During this time, you’ll come in for a few follow-up appointments so Dr. Tuan can make sure your implant is healing properly. Impressions and photos of your mouth will also be taken and sent to a dental lab, where your crown will be built.
Once your crown has been built and your mouth is fully healed, you’ll come in for your final appointment. Dr. Tuan will check the crown and make sure it fits, then bond it permanently into place to restore your smile.
healing, recovery, & aftercare
After Implant Surgery
One of the best things about single-tooth implants is that they do not require any special care after they heal. Simply brush and floss normally, and see Dr. Tuan every six months for regular teeth cleanings & oral exams.
