Utilizing the latest surgical advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Garrett, Dr. Blundell, Dr. Hanley, Dr. Clyburn, Dr. Black, and Dr. Wiley can often perform a tooth extraction, ridge preservation graft, and implant placement simultaneously. Alternatively, the procedure may be conducted in stages, with the initial phase involving implant insertion followed by a healing period of three to six months for bone fusion. During this time, a temporary prosthesis can be worn, allowing for a soft diet. Subsequently, once the implants have bonded to the jawbone, the second stage commences.
