Tooth extraction (if applicable): If necessary, your doctor will remove damaged teeth before placing implants.

Implant placement: The doctor will drill a hole in the alveolar bone and insert the dental implant to ensure the stability of the implant.

Preoperative preparation:

Comprehensive Examination: The patient should undergo a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that there are no health problems that may affect the procedure.

Oral Hygiene: Patients should maintain good oral hygiene before surgery to reduce the risk of postoperative infection.

Fasting: If general anesthesia is used, the patient will usually need to fast for several hours before the procedure.
