Next on the mastery journey is understanding the procedure itself. This involves several steps. The first is the surgical insertion of the implant into the jawbone. After allowing time for the bone to heal and fuse with the implant, the abutment, the piece that will hold the new tooth, is attached. Finally, the custom-made synthetic tooth is attached to the abutment.

Keep in mind that the time taken between these steps can vary based on individual healing rates and the specific situation. Even though it's a lengthy procedure that requires patience, the result of a durable, aesthetic smile makes it worthwhile.
