Dental Implants Procedure in Lithia, FL: The Steps

  • Initial Consultation: At this stage, you meet with the dentist to determine your candidacy, costs, and whether you require pre-implant procedures, such as gum treatment or bone grafting. This is also a great time to share any concerns with the dentist. 
  • Pre-Implant Procedures (In Some Cases): If you require pre-treatments, the dentist will handle them before your implant surgery. 
  • Dental Implant Surgery: On the day of your implant surgery, we ensure you’re comfortable and use image-guided technology to place the dental implant roots securely into the jawbone. 
  • Recovery and Integration: Over the next few months, the implant posts integrate into the jawbone, creating a stable environment for your replacement smile. 
  • New Tooth or Prosthetic Placement: We can place a single tooth crown or (using up to six implants) secure a custom denture to the jaw.

After the final step, you’re free to enjoy your new smile.
