Dental Implants at Practice

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the procedure actually is. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia so you won’t feel pain, and most people report that the post-operative recovery involves less discomfort than a standard tooth extraction, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers for a few days.

Dental implants have a very high success rate, typically over 95% after sufficient healing time. Studies have shown success rates of 90-95% over ten years. However, this high success rate applies to patients who qualify for dental implants and properly care for and maintain them. Also, factors like age, implant length and diameter, bone quality, and implant location can influence the success rate.

If you have one or more missing teeth, healthy gums, and a fully matured jawbone with enough density to support the implant, you are likely an excellent candidate. Even if you have experienced bone loss over time, we can often perform a routine bone graft prior to surgery to safely build up the area and ensure a successful implant.
