To further assist our patients, we’ve compiled some common questions about dental implants that our doctors frequently address:
-
Are dental implants painful? Most patients experience only minor discomfort during the implant process. Local anesthesia is used during surgery, and post-operative discomfort is manageable with medication.
-
How long do dental implants last? With proper care, dental implants can last 15 to 25 years or even longer. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene habits contribute to their longevity.
-
Who is a good candidate for dental implants? Generally, candidates should have good oral and overall health and sufficient jawbone density to support the implants. Bone grafting can sometimes be performed if bone loss is an issue.
-
Can I eat normally with dental implants? Yes, dental implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy most foods. However, it’s best to avoid extremely hard or sticky foods to prevent damage.
-
What are the risks associated with dental implants? As with any surgery, there are minor risks such as infection or implant failure. However, these complications are rare, especially with proper care and a skilled dental team.
-
How long does the entire implant process take? The process usually takes several months, depending on individual healing times and whether additional procedures, like bone grafts, are necessary.
