Before a dental implant is placed, a thorough examination will be conducted to assess the health and strength of the gums and jawbone. If the patient is a good candidate for dental implants, digital X-rays and physical impressions will help the dentist determine the best placement for the dental implants during the procedure. Patients will be given local anesthesia and sedation if needed while the dentist places the titanium post into the jawbone. Over 3 – 6 months, the bone and implant will fuse while healing and once the implant is secure, the permanent tooth or teeth will be attached to the implant using a connector. The dentist will adjust the implant and replacement teeth for a comfortable and accurate fit.

Most patients have little to no pain after their dental implants are finished, but some may have temporary soreness and discomfort that can be relieved with an over-the-counter pain medication, like Aspirin or Tylenol. To prolong the life of dental implants, you should have a good home oral care routine including brushing, flossing, and rinsing with antibacterial mouthwash. Regular dental appointments for professional cleanings and dental exams are also important to implant care. Dental implants can last a long time with proper care, but may eventually need to be repaired or replaced.

If your dental implants are considered medically necessary, your dental insurance plan might cover some or most of the costs. However, cosmetic dental implants are usually not covered by insurance. During your consultation, our office can confirm your insurance coverage and discuss payment options and financing plans.
