Step 1

Step 2

Preparing The Implant Site

• If there is still a broken or carious tooth present, the tooth will be removed.
• If immediate implants are to be done is dependent it depends on the presence of any infection and your bone condition.
• If immediate implants are not suited, the site would be left to heal for about a few weeks to 2-3 months.
• In patients where there is less bone structure, bone grafting may be recommended as an additional procedure and after the bone grafting the implant site may be left to heal for a few weeks to 2-3 months
• Once healthy bone material has been established and the site is ready, the implant is ready to be put into place
