Upload your CBCT scan (or arrange one locally). Implantologist confirms bone volume and plans the 3D position of the post.
On-site scan if not pre-uploaded. Surgeon reviews bone density and confirms implant diameter and length.
Titanium post placed under local anaesthesia, often with a healing cap or temporary restoration fitted the same day. Approx. 45–90 min per implant.
Swelling and mild aching are normal. Soft-food diet and chlorhexidine rinse protocol issued. Antibiotics course in your bag.
The titanium post bonds with your jawbone. No clinic visits needed — periodic check-in photos sent to your implantologist.
Healing cap removed. Abutment attached. Digital or physical impression taken for the permanent crown.
Lab-fabricated ceramic crown cemented or screwed. Bite adjusted and photographed. Fly home same day.
With good oral hygiene, dental implants can last decades.
The implant must fuse with the jawbone (3-6 months) before the final crown is placed.
Only if bone density is insufficient; this is assessed from your CT scan.
