Even with the improvements and innovations in dental care, millions of people suffer from FAQs
What is the dental implant procedure?
The dental implant procedure involves surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. After a healing period, during which the implant fuses with the bone, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore function and appearance.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The full dental implant process can take several months to complete. It includes the initial consultation, implant placement, healing period (typically 3 to 6 months), and placement of the final restoration. The exact timeline depends on your specific case and healing response.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to ensure a painless experience, and mild soreness afterward can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Do I need a bone graft before getting dental implants?
A bone graft may be recommended if you don’t have enough healthy jawbone to support a dental implant. During your consultation at Wanserski Dental Center for Complex Dentistry, our team will assess your bone structure and determine if grafting is necessary before implant placement.
What should I expect during the healing period after implant surgery?
During the healing period, the implant integrates with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. You may experience mild swelling or soreness, but most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Good oral hygiene is essential to support successful healing.
