What is dental implants procedure?
Dental implant surgery is performed depends on the type of implant and the condition of your jawbone. The major benefit of implants is solid support for your new teeth,  a process that requires the bone to heal tightly around the implant.

During surgery to place the dental implant, your oral surgeon makes a cut to open your gum and expose the bone. Holes are drilled into the bone where the dental implant metal post will be placed. Since the post will serve as the tooth root, it's implanted deep into the bone. After the abutment is placed, your gums must heal for one or two weeks before the artificial tooth can be attached. Once your gums heal, you'll have more impressions made of your mouth and remaining teeth.

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
