The implant process happens in stages, giving your jawbone time to heal and integrate with the implant. Here is what most patients can expect at Vine & Valley Dental Group.
01
Consultation & Planning
Dr. Tapia examines your teeth and jawbone, reviews imaging, and discusses whether implants are the right fit.
02
Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
03
Healing Period
Over the following months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration.
04
Restoration
A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your smile.
