Can I get a dental implant right after I have a tooth extracted?
Some dentists will place an implant in the same visit as an extraction. Most prefer to insert a bone graft and let the gum heal and install the implant around three months later.
How long does dental implant surgery take?
Each patient is different but more complicated implants can take up to two hours.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
The surgery isn’t painful because we use local anesthesia and sedation. You will ell some mild to moderate pain afterward.
Will I need a bone graft for a dental implant?
Some patients don’t because they have good bone density. Those who have less bone density are recommended to have a bone graft.
What does the implant procedure at Maison Dental include?
It starts with an exam, X-rays and health history documentation. We talk about sedation options and then a bone graft is done, if needed. The implant surgery happens around three months later with a temporary crown placed during healing. Then, a permanent crown is placed.
Why would I prefer a dental implant?
Dental implants are the closest option to natural teeth. They are permanent, secure, and look like your natural teeth. Their security provides excellent chewing function and replacing missing teeth can help you speak more clearly.
How does Maison Dental assist with the financial aspect of implants?
We help our patients find financial options with insurance pre-approvals, and show them other programs they may be eligible for. We have transparent pricing and direct billing.
What are the long-term benefits of dental implants?
Replacing missing teeth helps your long-term health because improving chewing improves your diet options and nutrition. Implants make function and maintenance easier.
