During the implantation procedure, our dentist places the implant into the socket of your missing tooth, embedding it into your jawbone. They use advanced X-Guide 3D imaging technology to ensure precise implant placement. Over the next 6-12 weeks, as the bone heals, it grows around your dental implant and anchors it securely in your jaw. When the implant bonds fully to the bone, our dentist attaches the abutment and places the prosthesis over the top. Just like individual teeth, dental implants can support removable dentures. Advanced treatment like replacing complete teeth (which are bad in prognosis) in the mouth with fixed implants and restoring all the oral functions in 72 hours also done.

The brackets connect to the front of your teeth, while the wires pass through the brackets before fixing to the bands.
