Our Process

Our Painless Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant process typically involves several steps. First, we’ll assess your oral health to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. This may include X-rays and a thorough exam. If needed, a bone graft may also be performed to ensure adequate bone support.

Next, the implants are surgically placed into your jawbone. These implants then fuse with your bone over several months. Once healed, abutments are attached to the implants, followed by the placement of your final restorations (crowns, bridges, or dentures).

Dental implant surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, and there is minimal discomfort afterward. If you experience any pain afterward, that can be managed with medication. Following our post-operative instructions, which may include dietary restrictions and regular check-ups, is crucial for successful healing.

Your Dental Implant Questions, Answered

What are dental implants, and how do they work?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.

Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth, dentures, or bridges, preventing them from shifting in your mouth. This secure fit helps the replacements feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Good candidates for dental implants typically have good oral health, sufficient bone in the jaw to support the implant, and healthy gum tissues free of periodontal disease. Smokers, patients suffering from chronic disorders like diabetes or heart disease, or those who have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis.

A thorough evaluation by your dentist can determine if dental implants are the right option for you.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth, involving daily brushing and flossing to avoid plaque build-up. It’s also important to schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings.

Although implants can’t get cavities, maintaining gum health is crucial to the longevity of the implant.

How painful are dental implants?

Dental implant surgery typically involves some discomfort. However, most patients experience minimal pain, and any discomfort can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medication. Modern dental techniques and anesthesia minimize pain during the procedure itself.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The success rate of dental implants is very high, and many patients enjoy years of comfortable and functional replacement teeth. Factors like good oral hygiene, a healthy lifestyle, and regular dental check-ups contribute to the long-term success of dental implants.

Is bone grafting necessary for dental implants?

In some cases, bone grafting may be necessary before implant placement. If you have insufficient bone density due to tooth loss, injury, or other factors, bone grafting can help create a stable foundation for the implant to fuse with.

This procedure involves adding bone material to the jawbone to promote bone growth and increase implant stability.

Are dental implants an alternative to dentures?

Yes, dental implants are a fantastic alternative to dentures. Unlike dentures, which can slip, shift, and be uncomfortable, implants provide a stable and secure foundation for replacement teeth. This allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, just like you would with natural teeth.

Are dental implants considered a permanent tooth replacement?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime as they’re designed to be a long-term and durable solution for missing teeth. However, like natural teeth, they require regular care, including brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, to maintain their longevity.

Do you offer natural-looking dental implants?

Yes! We use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to create dental implants that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. Our team will work closely with you to ensure your replacement teeth look and feel completely natural, restoring your smile’s beauty and confidence.

What is the recovery time for dental implants?

Recovery time varies depending on individual factors and the complexity of the procedure. In general, most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to their normal activities within a few days. Full healing and integration of the implant with the jawbone may take several months.
