Surgical placement of an implant fixture or post is the first step in your dental implant treatment.

A dental implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone and covered by the gum (shown above) or by a special 'healing cap'. This procedure takes less than 1 hour and can be done with local anesthetic only. It is painless and produces little or no post-operative discomfort.

Premium dental implants such as Nobel Replace and Nobel Active by Nobel Biocare and Astra Osseospeed permanently integrate with your jawbone to support a long-standing implant restorations that look and function like natural teeth.
