While a dentist may make the process look easy, the surgery is a complex procedure that we can complete at an efficient pace.

• The first step: A comprehensive examination will be completed. A detailed evaluation of your clinical and radiographic findings will be needed to assess the current status of your oral health. Your specific concerns and desires will be discussed along with other pertinent factors that may affect or influence the available options we are to provide for you.
• The second step: Typically involves taking CT scans of the jaw. These are 3D pictures of the jawbone, used to assess critical information such as the available bone density, the location of the upper sinuses, and the position of the nerves that lie within your lower jaw. Additionally,the scans are used to determine the future position of the implants and replacement teeth.
• The third step: Involves creating a computer simulation of the implants, digitally positioning them into the jawbone at the appropriate location to give you the most support for your replacement teeth. We can adjust the implants as need be and fabricate your new set of teeth designed to meet your needs.
• The fourth step: Finally, the most important step is the oral surgery. During surgery, we will provide you with local anesthesia and then place the implants directly into your jawbone to secure your new set of teeth in place.
