The next step involves several weeks of healing so that these small implants can fuse with your bone and produce a strong anchor. A temporary crown is worn above the implant during the healing time until you are ready for your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to be securely attached to the small metal post. In the end you\u2019ll be left with a natural-looking, long-lasting, AND beautiful smile!<\/strong> \"\" <\/p>\n
