The Dental Implant Process
Your Initial Consultation
Your new smile starts with a personalized dental implant consultation at our Estero dental office. Dr. Anderson will spend time with you to learn the goals for your smile. She will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth to determine if dental implants are a suitable solution for you.
Dental Implant Surgery
Our Estero dental implant office offers a significant advantage over general dentists. Instead of referring out, Dr. Anderson takes every patient from surgery through to complete smile restoration. In this office, our doctor will take care of you from start to finish.
Dental Implant Osseointegration & Abutment Placement
Recovery from the surgical placement of your implant is relatively quick, but integration with your jawbone can take longer. Over the next four to six months, a process called “osseointegration” occurs. This is where the implant fuses with the jawbone, creating a durable base for your new teeth.
Delivery of Dental Implant Restorations
Once your implant has fully fused with your bone, it’s time to place the crown on it. Whether it’s a crown, bridge, or denture, Dr. Anderson and our in-house dental lab work in tandem to ensure a precise and secure fit at the final appointment. We’ll fine-tune your bite, make sure you love how it looks, and discuss how to care for your new implant. You’re going to love your new smile!
