Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
My friends told me that their implants failed, is that going to happen to me?
Anything is possible, but it is highly unlikely. As long as there is no infection where the implant is placed, we see nearly a 99% success rate!
What exactly is an implant?
An implant is made of titanium. An implant is placed in the jaw where your tooth used to be. The titanium is coated with a sterile liquid that will help the implant become integrated to the bone.
Will having an implant hurt?
I have an implant to replace a front tooth that was lost. From a personal point of view, it is comparable to most dental procedures. As with any dentistry, there can be some discomfort that is generally relieved with ibuprofen or Tylenol.
How does an implant get placed?
The doctor who places the implant will thoroughly get you numb. Then with a series of special instruments a hole is made in the bone that correspond perfectly to the size of the implant.
How long will it take before I can put a crown on the implant?
Some people are lucky enough to be able to have a temporary crown put on the implant immediately. That decision is made on an individual basis. In most cases, an implant can be restored within 2-3 months after the implant has been placed.
What does an implant look like?
An implant is made to resemble the root of a tooth with a tapered appearance; narrower at the end and wider at the top. There are so many companies making implants and the designs are all independent to the particular manufacturer.
How does an implant work?
An implant is placed in intimate contact with your jawbone so that the bone has the ability to attach itself to the implant. This is what we describe as integration; the implant becomes one with the bone. After full integration, the implant can be used to retain a crown.
