A Simple Guide to the All-on-4 Dental Implant Process

Step 3: Implant Placement Surgery During the implant placement procedure, anesthesia is administered to maximize comfort throughout the treatment. The dentist then surgically places four titanium implant posts into the jawbone, where they will serve as the support structure for the replacement teeth. Over the following three to six months, the implants gradually fuse with the jawbone through a healing process called osseointegration. Temporary dentures are often worn during this healing period.
