Dental Implant Final Restoration
Implants may be placed in two surgical stages; the first being implant placement where the implant is buried in the bone beneath the gum, the second stage is where the implant is uncovered and an abutment connection made.
Alternatively a single stage procedure is where the healing abutment that can be seen immediately in the mouth following implant placement.
After the healing period, this abutment is removed and the impression moulds taken by the dentist.
A laboratory will commonly make the final fitments to be placed at the final stage.
