If you are missing a tooth, or several teeth, you might be wondering whether dental implants will be a good solution for you. They have plenty of benefits, but you probably still have some questions about them. Check out the following dental implants FAQs to start learning more about the procedure and whether it is something that interests you. Our dentists in Turlock can help you learn more and let you know if you are a good candidate.
Is the Implant Surgery Painful?
This is naturally one of the first questions that people have regarding dental implants since there is surgery involved. However, the procedure is typically conducted while the patient is under general anesthesia, so you should not have to worry about feeling any pain during the procedure.
What Happens After the Anesthesia Wears Off?
After the anesthesia wears off, you will find that the healing generally happens quite quickly. There may be some minor discomfort. However, it is easy to control this discomfort by using over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. The dentist may even prescribe some for you if needed.
How Long Will the Dental Implants Last?
When you take good care of your dental implants, and the gums that surround them, you will find that they can last for quite a long time. They are highly durable, and they can last for upwards of 40 years.
What Can You Eat?
Right after the procedure, you will want to be careful about the foods that you are eating. You should try to avoid exposing the surgical site to food if possible. However, you can eat soft and nutritious food, and keep hydrated, during the healing process.
