Dentist at Roots dental care will carefully assess your mouth and jaw to determine if dental implants are a good choice for you. This preliminary assessment will include taking x-rays of your jaw and teeth. If you qualifies to be a good candidate we will then schedule your surgery.

Your surgery will likely take place in two parts over the course of two separate appointments. During the first portion of your surgery your dentist will implant the titanium root into your jawbone, beneath your gum line, and then stitch the gum tissue back into place.

 As the gum tissue heals, the titanium root will bond to your jawbone and attach to your gum, creating a firm anchor for the artificial tooth. This healing process can take up to several months. However, in some cases, your dentist may be able to perform the whole procedure in one single stage.

Once doctors at Roots Dental care confirms osseointegration of implant into the bone, second part of your surgery commences. During this phase, we will attach an abutment to your titanium root. Once the abutment is in place, we attach your artificial tooth onto the abutment which is artificial post on implant. We ensure one or more follow up visits to check if your implant tooth is correctly settling in the oral cavity. If we are replacing several or all of your teeth we use your dental implants to support a fixed bridge.
