The process of placing a Dental Implant in general it requires three phases: 

• The surgical phase to place the implant.
• A waiting time for integration of the implant with the bone.
• Finally the placement of the crown or aesthetic prosthesis.

Surgical phase

The placement of the dental implant is done through surgery. In the surgical phase, the implant or titanium screw is inserted into the bone. This screw is the support that replaces the root of the lost tooth. 

Before the dental implant is placed, the missing tooth must be extracted, if necessary. To place the implant, a diagnosis must be made of the state of the bone where the Dental Implant will be inserted and, according to this diagnosis, it is identified whether a bone graft or other additional treatments should be performed.

Osseointegration phase

After implant placement, generally expect a time of osseointegration or union between the Dental Implant and the bone.

The osseointegration process may require between 3 and 6 months, or until the implant is closely connected with the bone.

Prosthetic phase

With the Osseointegrated Dental Implant, we proceed to the placement of the Prosthesis or Dental Crown.

The Prosthesis or Crown is the visible part of the tooth. This is done as similar to natural teeth to complete the total restoration process with the Dental Implant.

After all this process, the aesthetics and functionality of the missing tooth or teeth are fully recovered.
