- Implant Placement — A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone, acting as a strong and stable root.
- Healing & Integration — The implant heals and fuses with the bone over a few months, creating a strong foundation.
- Custom Crown — A custom-made crown is attached, restoring your smile with natural beauty and function.
