                        1. The first step is to 
                          replace missing roots by placing the titanium implants. 
                          2-4 implants will remain covered underneath the gum for 
                          approximately one to six months. During that time, osseointegration 
                          takes place.  |

                        2. The second step of the procedure 
                          involves uncovering the implants and attaching extensions. 
                          Later in treatment, a bar will be affixed to these extensions, 
                          completing the foundation on which your removable restoration 
                          will be placed.  |

                        3. The final step is the placement 
                          of your restoration. With techniques that ensure optimal 
                          size, shape, color and fit, this removable restoration 
                          will blend with your facial characteristics, while providing 
                          support needed for a natural appearance. You’re free to 
                          enjoy life. |
