The implant is fitted where the gap was left, placed into the jaw where the gap is. This usually does not take too much time, people consider this treatment to be no more painful than usual dental work we all undergo. Once the implant has been fitted the surrounding gum and blood vessels are given time to heal and incorporate the implant. Once the site has been healed then a new crown, bridge or denture is fitted on top of the implant.
