The dental screw post procedure involves the following steps1:
The dentist will measure the length of the channel they’ve created, and trim the post they’ve selected to match.
They’ll then slip the post into place. If it’s too long, they’ll remove it and trim it some more. If its fit is slack, wobbly, or exceedingly tight, the dentist might select a different post size, or re-prepare/further refine the post space.
The procedure replaces tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real ones
