Planning considerations
- Number and position of implants needed to support the restoration
- Bone and soft-tissue grafting that may be needed first
- Health of the remaining natural teeth and gums
- Long-term maintenance and cleanability of the final restoration
Your dentist's role
Implant treatment is planned with your restorative dentist, who typically designs and places the final crown, bridge, or denture. We place the implant and manage the surrounding gum and bone; your dentist restores it.
