What does this procedure involve?
This procedure replaces a missing tooth with a single Straumann or Nobel Biocare implant and a custom zirconia crown. It follows a two-visit protocol: during the first visit, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. After a 3–4 month osseointegration period, during which the bone fuses with the implant, you return for the second visit to have the zirconia crown attached. Zirconia is chosen for its strength, natural translucency, and biocompatibility.
