Dental implants are not typically painful during or after the procedure. During the procedure, we ensure the treatment site is thoroughly numb before implanting your root replacement. We also offer sedation dentistry if you’re feeling anxious.
After the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort and swelling during the first week, but this is easily treated with an over-the-counter pain reliever.
Your dental implant journey starts with a consultation, so your Augusta dentist will let you know what to expect and what to do at home to promote prompt healing.
If you experience intense pain or swelling during the healing period, always contact our dental office immediately.
About Dental Implants in Augusta, GA
Dental implants consist of:
- A durable tooth replacement
- An abutment or connector piece
- A restoration, such as a dental crown
Dental implants also include implant-supported prosthetics, such as fixed dentures and bridges.
First, your dentist implants the tooth root replacement, which integrates into the bone. After integration is complete, we attach your abutment and replacement tooth.
Dental implants represent a long-term solution to tooth loss; they can last for decades and sometimes for life.
