Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are designed to match your natural teeth.
The dental implant procedure is generally not painful. Local anaesthesia is used during the surgery to ensure you remain comfortable. Some discomfort and swelling may occur after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Most people who are in good general and oral health are suitable candidates for dental implants. Adequate bone density and healthy gums are essential for supporting the implants. A consultation with your dentist at Dental Plus will determine your suitability.
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of dental implants, especially if they are deemed medically necessary. Check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.
