The Implant Procedure, Step by Step
Consultation & CBCT Imaging
Your implant journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a scan from our in-house Carestream CBCT scanner (a 3D X-ray that shows your jaw in detail). It maps your bone, nerve pathways, and sinus position, so we can plan your implant precisely and you can have it all done here in Harrisonburg, with no outside referral and no extra trips across the Valley.
Implant Placement
Following your custom plan, we place a small titanium post (the new root for your tooth) into your jawbone at the exact angle and depth your 3D scan mapped out. We numb the area thoroughly first, and most patients tell us it was far easier than they expected. You leave with a temporary tooth in place, so your smile looks complete while everything heals.
Healing & Bonding to the Bone
Over the next three to six months, your implant naturally fuses with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration that simply means the bone grows snugly around the post. This gives you a rock-solid foundation that works like a natural tooth root. You will stop in for a few brief check-ups so we can make sure your healing is right on track.
Your New Tooth Goes On
Once your implant is fully fused, we attach a small connector called an abutment and then place a porcelain crown, shade-matched and shaped to blend right in with your other teeth. The result looks, feels, and works like a natural tooth, so you can eat what you love and smile freely again.
