The process should begin with
a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical and dental history, and a
full clinical examination of the entire mouth and missing tooth area. The
clinical exam should also include specific X-rays. After assessing the
patient, a comprehensive treatment plan can be devised. From that point,
implants are surgically placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. The
length of the healing time is based on the quality and quantity of bone,
as well as the type of implant placed. After adequate healing is allowed
to occur, the implant can be used to support a crown, bridge, or denture.
