Treatment and Care

• How much time is required for a Dental Implant placement?

Today, State-of-the-Art surgical techniques are convenient alternatives to place Dental Implants and allow you to have the Dental Implant placed in a single session. This new method, using Cat Scan technology, has significantly simplified the procedure, for both patients and dentists. This significantly reduces the healing time normally associated with traditional Dental Implant surgical techniques.

Conventional Dental Implant procedures can take up to as long as a year.

First, the dentist places the Dental Implant, which integrates with the jawbone. During the healing period, patients are given a temporary prosthesis until the permanent crown is put in place.

Then the conventional new teeth need to be manufactured at an outside lab and then additional appointments are needed for fitting the new teeth before they are “tried in”. By having a dedicated in house Implant lab Smile Implant Super Center greatly reduces the time and cost to the patient.

The procedure chosen depends on several factors, such as your dental health, the number of teeth involved and which teeth are replaced.
These factors will also determine the total number of visits to the dentist throughout the treatment period.

• Is the treatment painful?

With any surgery, there can be some discomfort. Placing one Implant normally causes less discomfort then placing several. Anesthesia and patient sedation are commonly administered to help reduce any discomfort during the Dental Implant process. Most patients report that they were much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated. Your Smile Implant Super Center doctor will prescribe medications to ease any discomfort that may occur.

• How will I feel after the treatment

It is normal to have some bruising and swelling in the gum and soft tissues. But usually the discomfort, if any, is treated with an ordinary painkiller .

• How will I care for my Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are life changing. With your new dental implants and new teeth, you can enjoy a more active lifestyle with renewed comfort and confidence.
