Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium, designed to support replacement teeth. They provide a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Implants integrate with the jawbone, ensuring stability and functionality.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the implant procedure. Local anaesthesia is used to ensure a pain-free experience. Any post-operative discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection and implant failure. However, these risks are low with proper planning and care. Your dentist will discuss any concerns during your consultation.
