| The first step in the decision for dental implants is to make an appointment with qualified Oral Implantologist for an evaluation, medical and dental history, dental x-rays and possibly CT scan diagnostic casts for final planning for dental implants. |
1: Before the procedure |
 |
Three teeth at back end of the mouth are missing. The only real replacement alternative is installing a fixed bridge. The bridge contains all teeth in one piece and is anchored on dental implants.
|
2: Installing the implants |
 |
First, the implants are installed. This is normally done in a single session. A temporary bridge may be placed at the same time, making it possible for you to function like normal almost immediately after leaving the dentist. |
3: Attaching the bridge |
 |
The implants need to integrate with the jawbone before the permanent bridge is attached. This is normally done 1-2 months after the implant installation. The time will vary, depending on the teeth affected and the esthetical demands, nature of bone and general habits of a person. |
| 4: End result |
 |
The new bridge will handle all the pressure that your strong, natural back teeth did. You will have a stable and secure solution that allows you to eat what you want. |
