Most people with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. However, you will need to be in good overall oral health and have enough healthy jawbone tissue available to support your implants. A comprehensive dental evaluation is needed to determine if implants are the best solution for your specific needs.
Caring for dental implants is easy and requires the same daily oral hygiene routine as your natural teeth. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also recommended to ensure the longevity of your implants.
The entire process can take several months to complete, as the implant needs to fuse with the jawbone before the permanent dental crown can be attached.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, so you won't feel any pain during the surgery. After the procedure, some discomfort and swelling is normal, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
