Dental Implant Procedure in Cumming

During dental implant surgery, your surgeon will:

Administer anesthesia. Your oral surgeon
administers local anesthesia to numb your gums. Sedation may or may not
be used. The patient and surgeon can agree on this.
Create an incision. Once you are settled for the
procedure, your surgeon will make an incision (cut) in your gums where
the dental implant will go. This incision exposes the bone underneath so
your surgeon can place the implant.
Prepare your jaw. Your surgeon will use modern
dental tools to create an opening in your jawbone. They’ll then widen
the opening until it is right to accommodate the implant.
Place the dental implant. Next, your surgeon
will carefully place the dental implant into your jaw.
Close the incisions. Finally, your surgeon will
reposition your gums and close the incision with stitches.

The dental implant process is nearly the same for everyone. The
slight difference is that a few surgeons place a restorative crown
immediately after the dental implant while most surgeons allow healing
to occur first before the crown is placed.
