What are Dental Implants? Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Procedure Details:

1. Initial Consultation: Comprehensive examination and treatment planning.
2. Implant Placement: Surgical insertion of the titanium post.
3. Healing Period: Allowing time for the implant to integrate with the jawbone.
4. Restoration: Attachment of the crown, bridge, or denture to the implant.

FAQs:

• How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last a lifetime with proper care. The implant itself is made of titanium, which is highly durable and integrates with the jawbone. The crown, bridge, or denture attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear.

• Is the implant procedure painful?

Most patients report that the dental implant procedure is less painful than they expected. Local anesthesia is used during the surgery to numb the area, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Post-operative pain can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and prescribed medications if necessary.

• What is the recovery time for dental implants?

The initial healing period after implant placement is typically around 1-2 weeks. However, the complete integration of the implant with the jawbone, known as osseointegration, can take 3-6 months. During this time, patients are advised to follow their dentist’s care instructions to ensure successful healing.
