Placing Upper Jaw Implants
Restoring your upper jaw with dental implants is accomplished in two phases.

The first phase of the procedure is the surgical
placement of the implants.

They're under the gums for several weeks while the bone attaches to them.

After healing, the second phase begins.

The implants are re-exposed and your new teeth are made.

The first phase of the procedure
For the surgical placement of the implants, your mouth will be thoroughly numbed. Incisions are made in your gums and channels are made in the bone to receive the implants. After the implants are snugly in place, the gums are closed over each implant with a stitch or two. Over the course of the next few months, the implants become securely attached to the bone.

The second phase of the procedure
The second phase starts with surgical re-exposure of the implants. Incisions are again made in your gums, and small extensions are placed to bring them above the gum line. We then start a series of appointments to make your new teeth. Though some of the steps might be different in your case, they usually include making impressions of your mouth. From these impressions, we make precise working models of your mouth, which are carefully mounted for proper alignment. It’s on these models that your new teeth are fabricated. The last step is the placement of the teeth.

The success of your implants then depends on your care of the implants at home and our support through regular checkups and cleanings here in our office.

Single Tooth Implants
Placing a single tooth implant in two stages
Restoring your mouth with a dental implant is accomplished in two phases. The first phase of the procedure is the surgical placement of the implant. It’s under the gums for several months while the bone attaches to it. After healing, the second phase begins. The implant is re-exposed and your new crown is made.

The first phase
For the surgical placement of the implant, your mouth will be thoroughly numbed. An incision is made in your gums and a
channel is made in the bone to receive the implant. After the implant is snugly in place, the gums are closed over the implant with a stitch or two. Over the course of the next few months, the implant becomes securely attached to the bone.

The second phase
The second phase starts with surgical re-exposure of the implant. Another incision is made in your gums and a small extension is
placed to bring it above the gumline. We then start a series of appointments to make your new crown. Though some of the steps might be different in your case, they usually include making impressions of your mouth. From these impressions, we make precise working models of your mouth, which are carefully mounted for proper alignment. Your crown is fabricated on these models. The last step is the placement of your new crown.

The success of your implant depends on your care of the implant at home, and our support through regular checkups and cleanings here in our office.
