Why do you need a tooth implant?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into your jawbone. The implant will replace the root of a missing tooth, and act as an anchor for replacement teeth to be attached. The goal of dental implants is to provide you with lasting relief from discomfort caused by missing teeth, while giving you the confidence to smile again.

Many people are put to sleep for dental implants. This is a common procedure that can be done in an office setting. Dental implants can be done in one day, and patients may choose to go under anesthesia. The implant is put right into the jaw bone, which heals up within six months.

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. They can be attached to your jawbone and function just like natural teeth. However, not everyone is a good candidate for dental implants, so it’s important that you have them thoroughly discussed with your dentist before going through with the procedure.

Dental implants are the newest advancement in modern dentistry that can help you overcome your dental problems. They can be used to replace missing teeth and restore full function of your jaw, as well as give you a beautiful smile. Because they look so natural, many people opt for them instead of removable prosthetics, such as dentures, which can oftentimes be cumbersome and embarrassing to wear in public places due to their bulky appearance.

Dental implants are a very popular form of tooth replacement, but the success rate of dental implants can vary from patient to patient. Some patients have had great results with dental implants while others experience complications.

The average healing time for a dental implant is four to six months. The day following the procedure, most patients are back at work. The over-the-counter medications available for pain relief are usually adequate.

After dental implant surgery, we recommend elevating the head for at least 72 hours. This can be done by propping yourself up on pillows while you sleep. It is also possible to sleep in a recliner after your procedure for the first few days.

In general, dental implant surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure in stages with periods of recovery between procedures. From start to finish, the process for placing a dental implant can take many months. The majority of that time is spent healing and waiting for new bone to grow in your jaw.
