Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the dental implant process is. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so that you won't feel any pain during implant placement. Many patients report that getting an implant is less uncomfortable than having a tooth extracted.
Dental Implant Surgery
Dr. Caesar prioritizes your comfort throughout implant treatment. Before beginning, we thoroughly numb the surgical site with local anesthesia. For anxious patients, we also offer nitrous oxide sedation to help them relax. Throughout the procedure, you'll feel pressure but no pain as Dr. Caesar places your implant using custom surgical guides.
Recovery and Healing
You can expect mild to moderate discomfort for the first few days after your procedure. Most patients manage any post-surgical soreness with over-the-counter pain medication.
Implant healing can take three to six months. During this time, the implant integrates with the jawbone, creating a secure foundation for replacement teeth. Our team will schedule periodic checkups to ensure everything is progressing on schedule.
Long-Term Implant Comfort
Dental implants can last a lifetime and feel completely natural. Most patients forget they have an implant because it feels so much like their natural teeth when eating, speaking, and smiling.
