Thinking about revitalizing your smile with dental implants? As today’s leading choice for smile restoration, dental implants restore the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Here, we’ll answer the top questions patients ask about dental implants in Largo to help you make an informed decision for your oral health.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you have sufficient jawbone density, adequate gum health, and good general health.
If you’re not considered a candidate for traditional dental implants due to a lack of jawbone density, Dr. Tadros can advise you on alternatives, like zygoma implants. Zygoma implants use the cheekbone for integration, allowing us to place the titanium tooth root despite jawbone resorption.
How Long Does it Take to Get Dental Implants?
With innovations like our in-house CT scanner and Chrome GuidedSMILE, we can complete the dental implant treatment process in as little as one day! Candidates for teeth in a day with Chrome GuidedSMILE must have missing or damaged teeth, a high gag reflex, and sufficient bone density for implants.
For more complex cases, we can place dental implants in as little as eight weeks.
Does the Dental Implant Procedure Hurt?
Dental implants are generally placed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. You’ll likely experience some post-operative swelling and minor discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
Dental implants are considered a permanent tooth restoration. So, with proper care and maintenance, they can last the rest of your life. But, to ensure your dental implants last a lifetime, you’ll need to attend all of your recommended dentist appointments and protect your oral health with proper brushing and flossing.
