Implant Dentistry Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants expensive?
Dental implants are an investment in a better quality of life.
Dental implants aren’t cheap. We understand that. But you get so much more than a titanium post and porcelain crown or denture.
You get the capacity to chew steak and raw vegetables. You gain self-confidence. You preserve the shape of your face. You prevent your teeth from shifting after an extraction. You avoid embarrassing dentures slipping around in your mouth.
Is the dental implants procedure safe?
Tooth implants are a safe, mainstream dental procedure.
In healthy patients who are good candidates for the procedure, dental implants have a success rate around 98%. They have been used for decades.
Are you considering getting a permanent tooth implant? At Vitangeli Dental, we only recommend surgery for individuals who are good candidates. This helps us maintain a nearly 100% success rate.
According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, 3 million Americans have received implants.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants from Vitangeli Dental in Englewood, Oh, can last a lifetime.
If you get a dental implant this year, it could last the rest of your life. However, this heavily depends on how you take care of your oral health and dental hygiene in the years following the procedure.
Is the surgery painful?
Dental implant surgery has very little pain and patients usually recover rapidly
Our dental implant patients are ordinarily surprised after they get their implants placed.
“Wow! That was no more painful than a filling.”
“Have you finished already? I didn’t even feel it.”
“That was oral surgery? It only took a few minutes.”
After dental implant surgery, you may experience:
- Minimal pain at the implant site
- Minimal bleeding
- Swelling and/or bruising of the gums and cheeks
These effects should subside after a few days. Ibuprofen usually takes care of the pain. Ice packs used on the outside of the face can alleviate swelling. Call our office if these symptoms persist.
