implantation surgery

Implantation surgery is a medical procedure to place a device, such as a dental implant or a cardiac pacemaker, into the body. For dental implants, a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone to serve as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth. The process involves numbing the area, creating an opening in the bone, and carefully placing the implant. Over time, the bone heals around the implant, anchoring it securely. This procedure restores function and appearance, providing a durable solution. The exact steps can vary depending on the type of implant and individual health considerations.
