Your Dental Implant FAQs Answered

How long should I wait after a tooth extraction to get a dental implant?

Most dentists suggest waiting at least three months after a tooth extraction before getting a dental implant. This allows your gums plenty of time to heal comfortably.

Do I need a bone graft for a dental implant?

Not everyone requires a bone graft for a dental implant. If you’ve experienced bone loss, have ongoing dental concerns, or have had missing teeth for an extended period, a bone graft might be a good option for you. Your dentist will take an X-ray and perform an exam to give you the best personalized advice.

How long does dental implant surgery typically take?

No, a dental bridge doesn’t hurt abutment teeth. There are attachments between those teeth and the bridge but the attachment doesn’t affect the teeth. The dental bridge keeps nearby teeth from shifting into the gap.

Will I need sedation for dental implant surgery?

Sedation options are completely up to you! Feel free to chat with your dentist if you think sedation would make your procedure more comfortable.

Will I experience a lot of pain afterward?

You might feel mild to moderate pain after dental implant surgery, but over-the-counter medications usually manage it effectively for most people. Any discomfort typically subsides within three or four days.
