Step 2: Having the dental implants placed

The second step is making an appointment to have the implants placed. by an oral surgeon. Once the implants had been placed, temporary arches will be attached to the implants. For patients who need one or more of their teeth extracted, the extractions will happen during this second appointment.

Once the patient has fully healed from their implant placement, which can take several months, they will make a new appointment in order to have their temporary arches removed and their custom-made arches attached. The end result is a full arch of teeth that are held securely in place via four strategically placed dental implants. Choosing a permanent tooth replacement option is often preferred, as this allows for a more durable replacement option, which is what many dental patients are looking for nowadays.
