The procedure
- Following a full assessment implants are placed on a single appointment.
- The majority of patients are very surprised how painless implant dentistry is.
- Implants are usually placed using local anaesthetic so you will not feel any pain during the procedure which takes approximately 20 minutes per implant.
- Nervous patients may prefer twilight sedation.
- There may be some slight discomfort and swelling immediately after placement. Healing usually takes 2-3 days.
- Placing an implant is usually easier than extracting a tooth and similar to having a filling…
How do Dental Implants work?
- Dental implants place in the jaw to replace the root of a missing tooth.
- The implant is then used to support new tooth. They are very strong and made of titanium.
- Titanium is accepted by the body and once placed , the bone attaches onto the surface of the implant creating a solid strong base and seal.
Treatment can be completed in 3-6 months, depending on the condition and health of your jaw, and your specific needs.
