What is the dental implant procedure?
Tooth implants can be a one-stage or two-stage procedure:
One-stage tooth implants
Where possible, Dr Eugene Marais, our registered Implant Surgeon, will place a single piece implant into the jaw-bone, leaving a small abutment above the gum line to which a temporary crown can be attached.
After three months, when the implant has fused to the bone and healing is complete, Eugene will attach the permanent crown.
Two-stage tooth implants
If the jaw-bone is weak, Eugene will place the implant under the gum, where it is left to fuse to the bone. After healing, which usually takes three to six months, you will meet Dr Marais for another appointment during which the area is exposed and an abutment added to raise it above the gum line.
The permanent crown can then be made and fitted in place.
