Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can impact your ability to eat, speak, and maintain overall oral health. Dental implants offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth and restore function. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth.

How soon after tooth extraction can I get a dental implant?
The timing of dental implant placement depends on several factors, including your oral health, the condition of your jawbone, and whether any additional procedures—such as bone grafting—are needed. Sometimes, an implant can be placed immediately after tooth extraction (immediate placement). However, many patients need to wait a few months for the extraction site to heal before the implant can be placed. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the best timing for your implant placement.
-
Are dental implants painful?
The dental implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Some mild discomfort, swelling, or soreness is normal after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and typically subsides within a few days. Most patients find the recovery process to be very manageable, and the long-term benefits far outweigh any temporary discomfort.

Do dental implants require special cleaning?
Dental implants do not require special cleaning beyond good oral hygiene habits. You should brush and floss daily, just like you would with natural teeth, and visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
