Good candidates have healthy gums, enough jawbone, and overall good oral health. During your comprehensive exam, we will determine if you’re a good candidate or if additional treatment like bone grafting is needed.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. We use local anesthesia to make you comfortable and any post-procedure soreness can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The time frame varies from patient to patient. The procedure is in two stages: placing the implant and attaching the crown. The healing time between the two stages can be a few weeks to several months.
Implants are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates with your natural bone. The crown attached to the implant is usually made of porcelain or ceramic which looks and functions like natural teeth.
Caring for implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush, floss, and regular dental checkups are essential to keep your gums and implants healthy.
