What Is Osseointegration?

Implant dentistry is often performed in several different stages to ensure that the patient receives a permanent and comfortable result. After your initial implant procedure, your dentist may ask that you schedule a follow-up procedure in six months. During the six-month window, a process called osseointegration will occur. Osseointegration can be literally translated to “bone connection.” After the implants have been put into your jaw, the process of osseointegration will allow them to become a permanent part of your smile. Before your dental implant procedure is completed, your dentist will make sure that osseointegration has taken place.
