Most Leesburg implant cases follow four stages, spread across several months of natural healing time. Here’s a simplified view of what to expect:
- Assessment: We check bone volume, gum health, and the bite around the open gap. If grafting is needed first, you hear that at the consultation, not later.
- Placement: The titanium post is fitted in a surgical appointment once the area is numb, and oral sedation is offered if needed.
- Integration: Bone fuses to the post over two to six months. Most patients can wear a temporary tooth during that time, and Dr. Elosta explains the options beforehand.
- Restoration: An abutment and a custom-made crown are fitted, shaded carefully to match the natural teeth on either side.
A case can run across two or three seasons of the year, so you hear each stage explained before it begins, not afterwards.
