Candidates for dental implants should have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to support the implant. If you’ve experienced bone loss, a bone grafting procedure may be recommended to prepare the site.
The procedure itself is not painful, as local anesthesia and sedation options are used to ensure comfort. Mild soreness or swelling may occur during recovery but can be managed with prescribed medications and aftercare instructions.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like smoking can help ensure their longevity.
Initial healing from implant placement typically takes 1-2 weeks, but the full integration of the implant with the jawbone (osseointegration) may take 3-6 months. The final crown is placed once healing is complete.
