Dental Implants FAQs
Dental implants are a popular option for people in need of permanent tooth replacement. They are the most reliable way to completely restore oral functionality lost from missing teeth, and are designed to fit your face perfectly. Swiss Denture & Implant Center is an expert on the dental implant procedure and has a history of success with Dental Implants. Read some of the answers to our most common dental implant placement questions below!
Are Dental Implants Painful?
The idea of having a dental implant can easily make someone feel anxious and worried about potential pain. It is an invasive surgery, after all. But many patients report that they don’t experience pain – but rather minor discomfort.
Do You Get Put to Sleep for Dental Implant Surgery?
It depends. Getting one or two implants placed is relatively minor and your dentist may opt to use a local anesthetic. However, for a full mouth of implants, your dentist will probably use a general anesthetic to put you to sleep during the procedure.
Can You Be Sedated When You Get Dental Implants?
Dental implant surgery is invasive, so there is a likelihood you will be sedated for it. In this section, we’ll talk about how your dentist may determine which is the right anesthetic for you.
Can You Get Dental Implants in One Day?
Many dental implants can take several months to complete, but in some instances patients pursuing All-on-4 dental implant treatment can get them done in one day. In this section, we’ll talk about how to know if you’re the right candidate.
Can Dental Implants Replace All of My Teeth?
You can get as many teeth replaced as necessary. Your dentist will be able to examine your teeth, determine which need to be replaced, and provide you with options.
