1. The first step is the placement of titanium implants to replace lost teeth. These implants will remain covered underneatch the gum for approximately 3-6 months. During this time, the implants should fuse to the bone. |
| 2. The second step of the procedure involves uncovering the implants and attaching a post to each implant. This completes the foundation on which your teeth will be placed. In some instances, your surgeon may decide to place the posts at the time of surgery. |
