Dental Implants
What are surgical dental implants?
A dental implant is a nickel-titanium post that is surgically placed within the jawbone. Once firmly healed, a crown is placed onto the implant to complete the restoration of the missing or lost tooth.
A dental implant is placed through a multi-step process which is case dependent, and the details will be discussed with you in person.
FAQ
How long do I have to wait before you attach the artificial teeth?
It is case-dependent and can be anywhere from the same day to six months.
What can I expect following the procedure?
- Swelling in the face and gums
- Bruising of the gums and skin
- Pain radiating from the site of the implant
- Minimal bleeding
Is dental implantation a very painful procedure?
Getting an implant is a surgical procedure and, therefore, might be painful afterwards. You will be provided with a script to manage any pain.
