What Is Dental Implant Surgery and How Does it Work?

What are dental implants?

The newest fix for missing teeth is dental implants. A dental implant is surgically placed titanium metal rod into the jawbone. One or more crowns are held there in place and are essentially a prosthetic tooth, similar to artificial teeth used in dentures. 

Is there pain after dental implant surgery?

Usually done under local anaesthesia, the implant is placed quickly and painlessly. Under the gum line in the jaw bone, the implant will be buried, which will make it invisible to the naked eye. Although you won’t feel any pain during the operations, you can be uncomfortable in the week following the operation. This is normal during the healing phase around the implant.

After the implant is put in the jawbone, the jawbone gradually integrates with the technologically enhanced implant surface over a few months. The implant thus becomes a component of the bone, acting as a tooth root for artificial teeth. We call this procedure osseointegration.

How long is the dental implant recovery?

Most individuals are pleasantly pleased by how simple dental implant surgery is and believe it is easier than having a tooth out. You can anticipate to return to work or your regular activities the next day.

If you experience any soreness, we recommend taking over-the-counter pain medicines such as paracetamol. Similar to other dental operations, avoiding hard meals is recommended, and an ice pack can aid with swelling.

The healing time for a dental implant to integrate with your bone can be four months or more. Once it has fully healed, you will be ready for the next step: your crown restoration, which will resemble a natural tooth and may be created immediately in our clinic.

What is the cost of dental implants?

It depends on the circumstances of your case, including factors like bone loss and the condition of your natural teeth. However, we have very competitive prices and flexible payment alternatives. Our objective is to provide you with the best possible therapy at a reasonable cost.  Although the treatment is rather expensive, it is far more cost-effective than alternative tooth replacement methods.

Are implants safe, and how long do implants last?

We provide a lifetime warranty on all dental implants. Millions of patients receive implant treatment each year.  Since 1965, implants have been a well-established and proven treatment. With proper maintenance, contemporary implants should last for a lifetime.
