How Dental Implants Work
Implants are dental appliances with a screw-shaped base of titanium embedded into your jawbone. The dental implant is a fixed and permanent rod to replace a natural tooth. Once the area heals following implantation, a prosthetic crown is affixed, filling the space left by a missing tooth and rejuvenating your smile!
To qualify for an implant, patients must have healthy gums and adequate jaw bone density to support the screw-shaped base. Wondering if you’re a candidate? Call us today, and we’ll be happy to assess your unique oral health situation!
Dental Implant Treatment Planning
Treatment planning is necessary to ensure that this restorative option is right for you and your oral health.
Because implant procedures utilize various materials, including ceramics and titanium, it’s important to meet with us to discuss your needs and goals.
How Long Does It Take To Get a Dental Implant?
The time involved with getting a dental implant varies, but it typically takes several months. This includes the healing time required between implant placement and the attachment of prosthetic teeth.
First, you will have the initial consultation with Dr. Vayner at our Fairfield dental office. If you are a good candidate, we'll schedule your dental implant surgery. Once placed, the longest part of the process is waiting for the implants to heal. If there are no issues after healing, we will secure the implant crown to the implant post.
Is Dental Implant Surgery Painful?
It is uncommon for patients to experience pain during the implant procedure. Our team will administer local anesthesia at Jack Vayner, DDS so you don't feel any pain.
Though you may feel mild discomfort while your implant site is healing, we recommend taking over-the-counter pain medication for prompt relief. If you have pain that persists for over a week, call our office to schedule a follow-up exam.
