The installation begins with a minor surgery where a titanium post is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. After placement, a healing period of several months allows the bone to fuse with the implant in a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation. Once healed, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant, and the gum tissue is closed around it. Finally, a custom-made crown is secured onto the abutment, restoring function and appearance to the missing tooth. #dental #implants #teeth #tooth
