Most dental implant patients are uneasy when it comes to dental implant treatment, so we have provided some common questions and answers that each patient should know.

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is made up of 3 components, the post, the abutment, and the the crown. The post is titanium and serves as the tooth root when surgically placed into the jawbone and the abutment and crown are attached to create a natural-like tooth replacement. Dental implants are a great option for patients that have one or more missing teeth and want a permanent solution as opposed to bridges or traditional dentures.

How long do dental implants last?

For patients that are considering a dental implant treatment, you can expect that most dental implants, once placed, can last a lifetime with proper and regular oral health care. Since a dental implant mimics and functions like a natural tooth, it provides the most stable solution for tooth replacement as i relieves stress on neighboring teeth.

Do dental implants hurt?

A dental implant placement procedure is performed with the patient fully sedated which minimizes any pain during the surgery. Most patients can return to work and their normal daily activities 24-48 hours after their procedure, although each treatment can be different so please be sure to ask our staff if you have any particular activities that may be strenuous or out of the ordinary. Normal recovery periods after a dental implant is placed can range between a few days to a few weeks depending on the type of procedure you have endured. The more implants that have been placed, the longer it will take for you to fully recover. To help with the healing process, we always recommend getting as much rest as possible and eating soft food for a few days. Medication will be prescribed to you, and you should always follow the doctor's instructions post-surgery.
