Implants

Implants are made of titanium and are tolerated well by the body. Implants are placed surgically; they are threaded and will integrate with the bone where they were placed. This procedure is done in the office. A local anesthetic is used and an oral sedation can also be provided for the comfort of the patient. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a second surgery may be necessary. At the time of the second surgery, an abutment will be placed on the implant. The second surgery is much shorter than the first surgery and is also done in the office.
