There will be a verbal consultation with the dentist. Then information for your implant record will need to be documented (includes Ct scan , impressions etc.) The patient will need to come back for a discussion with the doctor to go over these results in detail.

The implant will then be installed. At this time, a temporary tooth is provided that allows you to eat and function normally almost immediately. The implant will need a few months to integrate with the jawbone before the next step is taken.

The final step is the placement of the permanent ceramic tooth. The bite is verified to make sure ideal function is achieved. Final photographs & radiographs are taken for records and patient leaves home with their new tooth.  A 2-week post-operative visit is sometimes scheduled. 

The last step is maintenance of the dental implant for long term stability. You should expect the new tooth to fit and function just like a natural tooth. To reduce risk of implant failure, normal dental hygiene must be maintained to keep the tooth and gum around it healthy.
