In the early 1950′s, a Swedish scientist named Per Ingva Branemark observed that titanium could bond with bone. He termed this process osseointergration. What began as a treatment for people with no teeth and little hope of normal function has now developed to benefit virtually any dental situation, including an anterior tooth replacement.
The Treatment Steps:
1) The first step is the placement of the titanium implants by the Periodontist or Oral Surgeon. The implants will remain covers for approximately three to six months. During this time, the Osseointergration should take place.
2) The next step involves uncovering the implants and taking impressions.
3) Finally, the placement of the custom abutments (posts into the implant) and the crown of bridges with will match your natural teeth.
